What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "19% proficient" for Ganesha High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

The 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 19.2% exceeded — 13.0 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
