Most rating sites report "20% proficient" for Bardin Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
5.1% of students exceeded standard while 15.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 15.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.7 points below the Alisal Union district average of 7.9%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 6.9% 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 8.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 20.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
