Most rating sites report "80% proficient" for Castle Heights Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
53.2% of students exceeded standard while 26.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 32.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 32.0 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 21 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 13.1 points higher (vs 40.1% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
