Most rating sites report "77% proficient" for Carlton Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
56.1% of students exceeded standard while 20.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 35.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.5 points above the Union Elementary district average of 53.6%. Compared to the 15 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.9 points higher (vs 46.2% 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 4.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 2.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
