Most rating sites report "44% proficient" for Central Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
19.0% of students exceeded standard while 24.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.1 points above the Central Unified district average of 15.9%. Compared to the 9 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 7.5 points higher (vs 11.4% 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 17.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 18.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
