Most rating sites report "60% proficient" for Vernon City Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
39.3% of students exceeded standard while 21.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 18.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 18.1 points above the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 43 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 26.7 points higher (vs 12.6% 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 31.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
