Most rating sites report "51% proficient" for Cooper Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
22.6% of students exceeded standard while 28.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.1 points above the Vacaville Unified district average of 15.5%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 7.6 points higher (vs 15.0% 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 15.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 18.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
