Most rating sites report "42% proficient" for Fall River Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
16.2% of students exceeded standard while 26.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.7 points above the Fall River Joint Unified district average of 13.5%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 12.4 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%.
