Most rating sites would stop at “55% proficient” and call it done. Reedley deserves a closer read. The school sits in Reedley, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 70.4% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
