What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Frontier Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

16.1% of students exceeded standard while 24.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.1 points above the Twin Rivers Unified district average of 13.0%. Compared to the 24 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.2 points higher (vs 11.9% average).
