What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Dent Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
13.4% of students exceeded standard while 23.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Escalon Unified district average of 14.1%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 24.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 11.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
