Most rating sites report "58% proficient" for Fuerte Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
31.4% of students exceeded standard while 26.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 20.9 points above the Cajon Valley Union district average of 10.5%. Compared to the 17 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 18.6 points higher (vs 12.8% 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 5.2 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%.
