Most rating sites report "25% proficient" for Baldy Mesa Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
7.1% of students exceeded standard while 17.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 13.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.9 points below the Snowline Joint Unified district average of 12.0%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 18.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 30.8%, above the state average of 18.7%.
