Most rating sites report "21% proficient" for Kettleman City Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
3.5% of students exceeded standard while 17.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Reef-Sunset Unified district average of 3.4%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 5.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 8.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
