Most rating sites report "24% proficient" for Cantua Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
4.7% of students exceeded standard while 19.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 16.3 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Golden Plains Unified district average of 5.7%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 25.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 12.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
