Most rating sites report "39% proficient" for Washington Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
17.8% of students exceeded standard while 21.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.2 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.2 points above the Montebello Unified district average of 14.6%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 19.4% 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 4.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 20.6%, above the state average of 18.7%.
