Most rating sites report "56% proficient" for Cummings Valley Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
22.5% of students exceeded standard while 33.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.3 points above the Tehachapi Unified district average of 12.1%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 10.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 19.3%, above the state average of 18.7%.
