Most rating sites report "74% proficient" for Los Alamitos Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
51.4% of students exceeded standard while 23.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 30.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 30.5 points above the San Jose Unified district average of 20.9%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.3 points higher (vs 42.1% 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 6.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 5.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
