Most rating sites report "30% proficient" for Coldwater Canyon Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

12.2% of students exceeded standard while 18.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.0 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. The 26 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 18.0% exceeded — 5.8 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 17.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 21.3%, above the state average of 18.7%.
