Most rating sites report "51% proficient" for Cole Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.2% of students exceeded standard while 25.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.7 points below the Clovis Unified district average of 32.9%. Compared to the 14 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.2 points higher (vs 23.0% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 17.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
