Most rating sites report "67% proficient" for Playa Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
44.3% of students exceeded standard while 23.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 23.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 23.1 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 17 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.9 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.
