What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "51% proficient" for Garin Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

24.1% of students exceeded standard while 27.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Brentwood Union district average of 22.8%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.0 points higher (vs 20.0% 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 23.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 13.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
