What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "34% proficient" for Elim Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
14.5% of students exceeded standard while 19.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.1 points above the Hilmar Unified district average of 9.4%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 4.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 5.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
