Most rating sites report "45% proficient" for Washington Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
20.6% of students exceeded standard while 24.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Compton Unified district average of 20.5%. Compared to the 43 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.9 points higher (vs 15.6% 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 20.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 3.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
