What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "68% proficient" for Robert Frost Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

36.6% of students exceeded standard while 31.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.3 points above the state average of 17.3%. That's 17.8 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. Compared to the 2 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 11.0 points higher (vs 25.6% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 5.8 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

California's Dashboard shows ELA performance increased and Math increased year-over-year. 24.5% of English learners reached Level 4 (Well Developed) on ELPAC.

Chronic absenteeism is 9.9%, better than the state average of 19.3%.
