Most rating sites would stop at “29% proficient” and call it done. The SEED School of Los Angeles County deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, The SEED School of Los Angeles County enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
