What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Hancock Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

16.1% of students exceeded standard while 23.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.3 points below the San Diego Unified district average of 25.3%. The 12 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 28.4% exceeded — 12.4 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 4.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 15.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
