Most rating sites report "63% proficient" for Martha Baldwin Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
39.1% of students exceeded standard while 23.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 18.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.0 points above the Alhambra Unified district average of 32.1%. Compared to the 22 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.0 points higher (vs 36.1% 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 8.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
