Most rating sites report "50% proficient" for Cahuenga Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
31.9% of students exceeded standard while 17.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.7 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 44 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 10.9 points higher (vs 21.0% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 11.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 16.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
