Most rating sites report "42% proficient" for Cambridge Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
17.1% of students exceeded standard while 25.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Travis Unified district average of 16.8%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.2 points higher (vs 12.9% 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 0.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 13.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
