What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "8% proficient" for Loma Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

1.8% of students exceeded standard while 6.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.2 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.2 points below the Salinas City Elementary district average of 8.0%. The 25 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 7.5% exceeded — 5.7 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 2.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 20.3%, above the state average of 18.7%.
