Most rating sites report "75% proficient" for Mt. Washington Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
41.9% of students exceeded standard while 33.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 20.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 20.7 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 37 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 18.1 points higher (vs 23.8% 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 10.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
