Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for First Street Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
24.1% of students exceeded standard while 22.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.0 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 36 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.2 points higher (vs 16.0% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 20.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
