Most rating sites report "67% proficient" for Heritage Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
38.5% of students exceeded standard while 28.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 13.7 points above the Chula Vista Elementary district average of 24.7%. Compared to the 18 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.5 points higher (vs 32.9% 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 13.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
