Most rating sites report "65% proficient" for Cullen Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
33.4% of students exceeded standard while 31.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.5 points above the Glendora Unified district average of 28.9%. Compared to the 9 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.6 points higher (vs 30.8% 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 9.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
