Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Figueroa Street Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.3% of students exceeded standard while 21.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.4 points above the state average of 21.0%.

The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
