Most rating sites report "86% proficient" for Holmes Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
57.5% of students exceeded standard while 28.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 36.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 32.2 points above the San Diego Unified district average of 25.3%. Compared to the 22 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 32.4 points higher (vs 25.1% 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 13.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
