What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "33% proficient" for Westport Heights Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

16.9% of students exceeded standard while 15.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.3 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. The 23 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 23.8% exceeded — 7.0 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 22.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 25.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
