What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "64% proficient" for Hope Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

38.2% of students exceeded standard while 25.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Hope Elementary district average of 37.5%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.3 points higher (vs 28.8% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 8.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
