What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "33% proficient" for Tipton Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
12.2% of students exceeded standard while 20.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 7.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 15.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
