Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for Arbuckle Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
10.5% of students exceeded standard while 21.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.3 points above the Pierce Joint Unified district average of 8.3%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 19.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 16.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
