Most rating sites report "49% proficient" for American Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.4% of students exceeded standard while 23.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.6 points above the Rosedale Union Elementary district average of 21.8%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 24.1% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 7.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
