What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "30% proficient" for West Wind Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

12.3% of students exceeded standard while 17.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.6 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.1 points above the Lancaster Elementary district average of 7.3%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.2 points higher (vs 10.1% 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 14.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 20.7%, above the state average of 18.7%.
