Most rating sites report "70% proficient" for Carver Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
41.8% of students exceeded standard while 27.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 20.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 17.0 points above the Long Beach Unified district average of 24.8%. Compared to the 21 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.2 points higher (vs 32.7% 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 7.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 19.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
