What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Madison Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

11.8% of students exceeded standard while 24.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.1 points below the Sanger Unified district average of 21.0%. The 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 16.8% exceeded — 5.0 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 11.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 18.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
