What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "25% proficient" for Biggs Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

8.4% of students exceeded standard while 16.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 8.1 points below the Biggs Unified district average of 16.5%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 4.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

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