What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "84% proficient" for R. Roger Rowe Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

53.6% of students exceeded standard while 30.3% met it. That exceeded rate is 36.3 points above the state average of 17.3%. That's 4.7 points below the Rancho Santa Fe Elementary district average of 58.3%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.

Proficiency drops by 5.8 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

California's Dashboard shows ELA performance declined and Math increased significantly year-over-year.

Chronic absenteeism is 13.8%, better than the state average of 19.3%.
