What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "56% proficient" for Harloe Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

28.7% of students exceeded standard while 27.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.2 points above the Lucia Mar Unified district average of 22.4%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.7 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 9.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 10.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
