What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "27% proficient" for Crest Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

4.9% of students exceeded standard while 21.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 16.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.6 points below the Cajon Valley Union district average of 10.5%. The 3 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 15.6% exceeded — 10.7 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 7.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 15.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
