Most rating sites report "86% proficient" for Canyon Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
61.8% of students exceeded standard while 24.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 40.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 22.7 points above the Capistrano Unified district average of 39.0%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 19.6 points higher (vs 42.2% 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 4.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 8.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
