Most rating sites report "70% proficient" for Grant Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
46.1% of students exceeded standard while 24.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 25.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.8 points above the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified district average of 41.3%. Compared to the 20 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.0 points higher (vs 40.1% 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 2.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 8.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
