Most rating sites report "44% proficient" for Bay Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
22.3% of students exceeded standard while 22.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.7 points above the San Lorenzo Unified district average of 11.6%. Compared to the 12 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 10.9 points higher (vs 11.4% 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 7.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 19.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
