What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "78% proficient" for Marvin Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

48.6% of students exceeded standard while 28.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 27.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 23.3 points above the San Diego Unified district average of 25.3%. Compared to the 16 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 18.1 points higher (vs 30.5% 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 11.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 10.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
