Most rating sites report "26% proficient" for Ione Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
5.4% of students exceeded standard while 20.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 15.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.7 points below the Amador County Unified district average of 11.1%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 3.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 20.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
