What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "53% proficient" for Halldale Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

30.1% of students exceeded standard while 23.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 8.9 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 23 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.9 points higher (vs 25.2% 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 9.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 20.4%, above the state average of 18.7%.
