Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Quincy Jones Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
16.0% of students exceeded standard while 20.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 5.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.2 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 45 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.5 points higher (vs 12.5% 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 15.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
