What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "35% proficient" for Romero Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
13.4% of students exceeded standard while 21.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.6 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.7 points above the Gustine Unified district average of 10.8%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 20.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 32.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
