What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for Bret Harte Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

10.9% of students exceeded standard while 21.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.8 points below the Sacramento City Unified district average of 15.6%. The 20 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 15.9% 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 18.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 35.9%, above the state average of 18.7%.
