Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Dayton Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
21.3% of students exceeded standard while 18.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.7 points above the San Lorenzo Unified district average of 11.6%. Compared to the 13 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.8 points higher (vs 12.5% 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 18.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 15.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
