Most rating sites would stop at “39% proficient” and call it done. Manteca deserves a closer read. The school sits in Manteca, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 54.5% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
