Most rating sites report "20% proficient" for YES Academy and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
5.4% of students exceeded standard while 14.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 15.6 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 15.8 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. The 33 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 10.4% exceeded — 5.0 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 5.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 42.8%, above the state average of 18.7%.
