Most rating sites report "80% proficient" for Carmel River Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
54.9% of students exceeded standard while 24.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 34.0 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 15.2 points above the Carmel Unified district average of 39.7%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 7.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 11.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
