What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "43% proficient" for Maxwell Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

13.1% of students exceeded standard while 29.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 4.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 11.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
