Most rating sites report "78% proficient" for Fairmont Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
50.6% of students exceeded standard while 27.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 29.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.9 points above the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified district average of 37.7%. Compared to the 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.9 points higher (vs 44.7% 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 3.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
