What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "30% proficient" for Grant Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

10.8% of students exceeded standard while 19.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 14.0 points below the Long Beach Unified district average of 24.8%. The 29 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 18.3% exceeded — 7.5 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 0.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 36.4%, above the state average of 18.7%.
