What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "28% proficient" for McSweeny Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

10.5% of students exceeded standard while 17.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Hemet Unified district average of 9.2%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 8.9% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 8.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 33.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
