What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "44% proficient" for Jefferson Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

20.4% of students exceeded standard while 23.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Sanger Unified district average of 21.0%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.7 points higher (vs 15.7% 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 38.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 16.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
