Most rating sites report "63% proficient" for Brookside and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
35.4% of students exceeded standard while 28.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 14.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 21.3 points above the Lincoln Unified district average of 14.2%. Compared to the 16 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 25.2 points higher (vs 10.2% 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 10.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 10.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
