Most rating sites report "54% proficient" for Highland Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.1% of students exceeded standard while 29.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Corona-Norco Unified district average of 23.3%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 24.2% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 12.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 12.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
