What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "41% proficient" for Hamlin Charter Academy and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

21.3% of students exceeded standard while 19.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. The 16 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 28.6% exceeded — 7.4 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 2.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 24.0%, above the state average of 18.7%.
