Most rating sites report "42% proficient" for Avalon Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
19.7% of students exceeded standard while 22.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.5 points above the Val Verde Unified district average of 15.2%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.0 points higher (vs 13.7% 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 5.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 17.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
