Most rating sites report "74% proficient" for Brookhaven Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
47.9% of students exceeded standard while 25.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 27.0 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.2 points above the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified district average of 37.7%. Compared to the 20 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 11.8 points higher (vs 36.1% 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 0.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
