Most rating sites report "83% proficient" for Mar Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
54.8% of students exceeded standard while 28.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 33.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 33.7 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 27 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.4 points higher (vs 37.4% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 6.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
