Most rating sites report "86% proficient" for Dingeman Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
68.8% of students exceeded standard while 17.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 47.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 43.5 points above the San Diego Unified district average of 25.3%. Compared to the 12 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 25.6 points higher (vs 43.2% 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 7.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
