Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for McKinley Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
15.9% of students exceeded standard while 23.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 5.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 8.9 points below the Long Beach Unified district average of 24.8%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 17.0% 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.

Chronic absenteeism is 31.0%, above the state average of 18.7%.
