What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "44% proficient" for Morningside and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

22.0% of students exceeded standard while 22.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.6 points above the Delano Union Elementary district average of 17.3%. Compared to the 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.1 points higher (vs 18.9% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Students here improve by 1.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5, suggesting the school is adding value beyond what students arrive with.

Chronic absenteeism is 4.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
