Most rating sites report "56% proficient" for Madison Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
30.4% of students exceeded standard while 25.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.6 points above the Long Beach Unified district average of 24.8%. Compared to the 19 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.2 points higher (vs 22.3% 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 15.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 19.9%, above the state average of 18.7%.
