Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Amestoy Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
23.6% of students exceeded standard while 23.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.5 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 25 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.6 points higher (vs 20.1% 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 18.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
