Most rating sites would stop at “48% proficient” and call it done. Rocketship Los Suenos Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in San Jose, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 24.1% of English learners met the ELA standard — versus 10.4% statewide.

As a charter, Rocketship Los Suenos Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
