Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for John Cabrillo Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

14.0% of students exceeded standard while 18.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Sacramento City Unified district average of 15.6%. The 18 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 16.3% exceeded — 2.3 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 0.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 34.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
