Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for Daniel Webster Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
11.1% of students exceeded standard while 21.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.2 points below the state average of 17.3%. That's 7.8 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. The 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 27.8% exceeded — 16.7 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 1.3 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
