What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "74% proficient" for Arthur E. Wright Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

44.1% of students exceeded standard while 30.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 26.8 points above the state average of 17.3%. That's 8.9 points above the Las Virgenes Unified district average of 35.2%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 1.9 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
