What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "27% proficient" for Monte Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

9.2% of students exceeded standard while 17.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 11.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.8 points below the Porterville Unified district average of 13.0%. The 13 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 13.0% exceeded — 3.8 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 13.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 22.3%, above the state average of 18.7%.
