Most rating sites report "58% proficient" for Blandford Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
32.4% of students exceeded standard while 25.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 11.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 15.7 points above the Rowland Unified district average of 16.7%. Compared to the 16 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.7 points higher (vs 22.7% 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 3.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
