Most rating sites report "43% proficient" for California Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
20.0% of students exceeded standard while 23.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.2 points below the West Covina Unified district average of 24.2%. Compared to the 26 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.2 points higher (vs 16.7% 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 16.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 11.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
