What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "52% proficient" for Frontier Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

24.9% of students exceeded standard while 26.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.4 points above the Pioneer Union Elementary district average of 20.5%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.2 points higher (vs 19.7% 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 1.8 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%.
