Most rating sites report "62% proficient" for Cayucos Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
35.3% of students exceeded standard while 26.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 14.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 20.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
