What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "18% proficient" for Holmes Avenue Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

4.7% of students exceeded standard while 13.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 16.3 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 16.5 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. The 47 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 13.0% exceeded — 8.3 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 19.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 23.9%, above the state average of 18.7%.
