Most rating sites report "48% proficient" for Bonsall Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
22.6% of students exceeded standard while 25.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.8 points above the Bonsall Unified district average of 18.8%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 6.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 18.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
