What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "37% proficient" for Tweedy Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

14.1% of students exceeded standard while 23.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.1 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 15.1% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 5.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 23.8%, above the state average of 18.7%.
