What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Sixty-First Street Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

25.5% of students exceeded standard while 21.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.4 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 56 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 13.8 points higher (vs 11.7% 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 3.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 26.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
