Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Wilkerson Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
22.6% of students exceeded standard while 24.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.2 points above the El Monte City district average of 19.4%. Compared to the 27 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.8 points higher (vs 18.8% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 4.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
