What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "28% proficient" for Barfield Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

8.8% of students exceeded standard while 19.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.3 points below the Pomona Unified district average of 12.1%. The 28 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 19.4% exceeded — 10.6 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 4.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 25.0%, above the state average of 18.7%.
