What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "23% proficient" for Hooper Avenue Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

8.6% of students exceeded standard while 14.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.4 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.6 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. The 51 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 13.1% exceeded — 4.6 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 4.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 27.8%, above the state average of 18.7%.
