Most rating sites report "13% proficient" for Lake Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
3.0% of students exceeded standard while 9.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.3 points below the West Contra Costa Unified district average of 12.3%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 5.0% 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 1.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 31.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
