What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "27% proficient" for Charles D. Jones Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
9.0% of students exceeded standard while 17.8% met it. That exceeded rate is 8.3 points below the state average of 17.3%. That's 4.8 points below the Baldwin Park Unified district average of 13.8%. The 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 11.3% exceeded — 2.3 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.
Proficiency drops by 6.4 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
California's Dashboard shows ELA performance maintained and Math increased significantly year-over-year. 15.0% of English learners reached Level 4 (Well Developed) on ELPAC.
Chronic absenteeism is 18.9%, better than the state average of 19.3%.
