What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Charles White Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

20.0% of students exceeded standard while 27.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 49 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.7 points higher (vs 17.3% 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 2.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 17.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
