Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Hawthorne Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
15.7% of students exceeded standard while 20.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 5.3 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Riverside Unified district average of 16.5%. Compared to the 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.5 points higher (vs 11.1% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

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