What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "20% proficient" for Monte Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

5.6% of students exceeded standard while 14.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 15.4 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Lancaster Elementary district average of 7.3%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 6.3% 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 7.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 38.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
