Most rating sites report "86% proficient" for Hoover Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
63.6% of students exceeded standard while 22.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 42.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.8 points above the Burlingame Elementary district average of 50.9%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.3 points higher (vs 46.3% 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 16.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 4.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
