Most rating sites would stop at “37% proficient” and call it done. New Los Angeles Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where three in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, New Los Angeles Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
