Most rating sites report "88% proficient" for Carver Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
68.6% of students exceeded standard while 19.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 47.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.3 points above the San Marino Unified district average of 66.3%. Compared to the 18 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 35.6 points higher (vs 33.0% 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 0.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 3.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
