What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "64% proficient" for Santa Teresa Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

40.7% of students exceeded standard while 23.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 18.9 points above the Oak Grove Elementary district average of 21.8%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 21.1 points higher (vs 19.6% 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 15.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 10.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
