What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Patricia Kay Beaver Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

12.9% of students exceeded standard while 26.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Ceres Unified district average of 11.1%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.2 points higher (vs 10.7% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 23.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 12.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
