Most rating sites report "72% proficient" for Linda Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
45.2% of students exceeded standard while 27.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 24.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.5 points above the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified district average of 37.7%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.2 points higher (vs 41.1% 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 14.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 10.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
