Most rating sites report "23% proficient" for Manual Arts Senior High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

6.7% of students exceeded standard while 16.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.8 points below the state average of 15.5%. That's 12.1 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. The 17 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 12.0% exceeded — 5.3 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
