Most rating sites report "71% proficient" for Lafayette Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
44.8% of students exceeded standard while 25.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 23.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 19.9 points above the San Francisco Unified district average of 24.9%. Compared to the 14 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.9 points higher (vs 38.9% 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 7.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 13.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
