What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "22% proficient" for Harborside Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

9.2% of students exceeded standard while 12.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 11.7 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 15.5 points below the Chula Vista Elementary district average of 24.7%. The 24 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 13.1% exceeded — 3.9 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 3.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 32.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
