Most rating sites report "23% proficient" for Hamilton Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
6.9% of students exceeded standard while 15.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 14.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.3 points below the Hemet Unified district average of 9.2%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 0.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 30.6%, above the state average of 18.7%.
