Most rating sites report "66% proficient" for Bernardo Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
37.0% of students exceeded standard while 28.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 16.0 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 22.2 points above the Escondido Union district average of 14.8%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 21.8 points higher (vs 15.2% 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 1.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
