Most rating sites report "80% proficient" for Gant Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
52.7% of students exceeded standard while 27.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 31.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 27.9 points above the Long Beach Unified district average of 24.8%. Compared to the 19 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 14.0 points higher (vs 38.7% 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 5.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 13.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
