What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "35% proficient" for Irving L. Branch Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
12.2% of students exceeded standard while 22.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.0 points above the Muroc Joint Unified district average of 9.2%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 6.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 21.4%, above the state average of 18.7%.
