Most rating sites would stop at “20% proficient” and call it done. Littlerock deserves a closer read. The school sits in Littlerock, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 74.8% of students leave measurably college-ready, versus 35.5% statewide.
