What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "52% proficient" for Del Mar Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.0% of students exceeded standard while 27.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.0 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.0 points below the San Luis Coastal Unified district average of 34.0%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 3.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 18.7%, above the state average of 18.7%.
