Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Highland Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
13.5% of students exceeded standard while 22.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.3 points above the Inglewood Unified district average of 8.2%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 13.4% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 4.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 44.9%, above the state average of 18.7%.
