Most rating sites would stop at “70% proficient” and call it done. Solis Park deserves a closer read. It sits at the 87th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
Solis Park's low-income kids hit 59.5% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.
