Most rating sites report "65% proficient" for Isla Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
38.5% of students exceeded standard while 26.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.0 points above the Goleta Union Elementary district average of 33.5%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 14.6 points higher (vs 23.9% 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 2.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 9.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
