## Interpretation

Rank and percentile are statewide among eligible schools, including when viewed in a local group. Classification is not a current admissions guarantee. Preserve null and reported bounds; never infer protected data or substitute zero. Cite the canonical profile/report URL with the relevant period and methodology. Higher test performance does not establish better teaching or student fit. Original source terms remain applicable; see the source ledger and site terms.
