What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "30% proficient" for Iron House Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

10.6% of students exceeded standard while 19.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.4 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.2 points below the Oakley Union Elementary district average of 12.7%. The 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 14.7% exceeded — 4.1 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 1.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 19.8%, above the state average of 18.7%.
