What other rankings don't show you

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

8.1% of students exceeded standard while 11.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.7 points below the Gustine Unified district average of 10.8%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 1.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 25.9%, above the state average of 18.7%.
