What other rankings don't show you

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

10.9% of students exceeded standard while 21.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.8 points above the Calexico Unified district average of 7.1%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.5 points higher (vs 6.4% 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 5.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 42.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
