Most rating sites report "68% proficient" for Fletcher Hills Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
39.6% of students exceeded standard while 28.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 18.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 20.3 points above the La Mesa-Spring Valley district average of 19.4%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.6 points higher (vs 22.1% 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 8.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 10.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
