Most rating sites report "46% proficient" for Freedom Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
17.8% of students exceeded standard while 27.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.2 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.9 points above the Sylvan Union Elementary district average of 14.9%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.7 points higher (vs 15.1% 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 7.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 11.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
