What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "50% proficient" for Catskill Avenue Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

18.9% of students exceeded standard while 30.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.3 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 18.8% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 6.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 17.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
