Most rating sites report "24% proficient" for George Washington Carver Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
7.9% of students exceeded standard while 15.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.4 points below the state average of 17.3%. That's 10.9 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 9.7% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 4.5 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
California's Dashboard shows ELA performance increased significantly and Math increased significantly year-over-year. 10.6% of English learners reached Level 4 (Well Developed) on ELPAC.
