What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "42% proficient" for Truckee Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
23.6% of students exceeded standard while 18.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.7 points below the Tahoe-Truckee Unified district average of 36.3%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 2.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 16.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
