What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "71% proficient" for Carrillo Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

44.2% of students exceeded standard while 26.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 23.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 11.0 points above the San Marcos Unified district average of 33.1%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.7 points higher (vs 38.5% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 6.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 9.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
