Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Chatom Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
20.4% of students exceeded standard while 20.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near 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 19.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 1.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
