Most rating sites report "45% proficient" for Gibson Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
19.7% of students exceeded standard while 25.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.6 points above the Fresno Unified district average of 13.1%. Compared to the 20 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.7 points higher (vs 16.0% 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 0.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 17.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
