Most rating sites report "30% proficient" for Dixieland Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
9.4% of students exceeded standard while 20.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 11.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Madera Unified district average of 8.2%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 7.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 22.7%, above the state average of 18.7%.
