Most rating sites report "56% proficient" for Buckeye Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
28.2% of students exceeded standard while 28.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 16.5 points below the Buckeye Union Elementary district average of 44.6%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 13.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 4.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
