What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "25% proficient" for Orchard Academies 2B and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

That's 13.2 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. The 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 11.3% exceeded — 5.6 points higher.
