What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "37% proficient" for Rios Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

16.2% of students exceeded standard while 20.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.6 points above the Cajon Valley Union district average of 10.5%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.9 points higher (vs 13.3% 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 8.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 31.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
