Most rating sites report "67% proficient" for Longfellow K-8 and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
36.4% of students exceeded standard while 30.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 15.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 11.1 points above the San Diego Unified district average of 25.3%. Compared to the 17 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.9 points higher (vs 27.6% 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 16.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 12.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
