Most rating sites would stop at “69% proficient” and call it done. Paul Revere Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 42.7% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 17.3%.

As a charter, Paul Revere Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
