What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "78% proficient" for Creekside Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

52.4% of students exceeded standard while 25.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 31.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.0 points above the Poway Unified district average of 46.4%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.6 points higher (vs 45.9% 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 4.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 6.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
