Most rating sites report "42% proficient" for Alamo Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
15.9% of students exceeded standard while 26.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 5.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Vacaville Unified district average of 15.5%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.1 points higher (vs 13.8% 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 10.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 13.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
