Most rating sites report "23% proficient" for Ella Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
6.5% of students exceeded standard while 16.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 14.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.3 points below the Marysville Joint Unified district average of 10.8%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 6.4% exceeded — about the same. 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 24.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
