Most rating sites report "45% proficient" for Alameda Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
22.6% of students exceeded standard while 22.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Downey Unified district average of 24.0%. Compared to the 28 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.9 points higher (vs 17.7% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 24.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
