What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "57% proficient" for Del Aire Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

29.6% of students exceeded standard while 27.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.6 points below the Wiseburn Unified district average of 32.2%. Compared to the 25 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 7.8 points higher (vs 21.8% 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 20.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 7.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
