What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "49% proficient" for Halecrest Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

23.7% of students exceeded standard while 25.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Chula Vista Elementary district average of 24.7%. Compared to the 23 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.9 points higher (vs 19.9% 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 12.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 14.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
