Most rating sites report "86% proficient" for Alamo Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
56.9% of students exceeded standard while 28.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 35.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.7 points above the San Ramon Valley Unified district average of 51.2%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 14.8 points higher (vs 42.1% 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 11.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 3.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
