What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "39% proficient" for Charleston Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
13.1% of students exceeded standard while 25.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.4 points above the Los Banos Unified district average of 9.7%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 0.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 10.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
