What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "63% proficient" for Las Posas Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

31.5% of students exceeded standard while 31.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Pleasant Valley district average of 32.1%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 12.3 points higher (vs 19.1% 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 17.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 4.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
