Most rating sites report "58% proficient" for Jersey Avenue Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
24.5% of students exceeded standard while 33.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.5 points below the Little Lake City Elementary district average of 29.1%. Compared to the 27 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.5 points higher (vs 21.1% 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 12.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
