Most rating sites report "67% proficient" for Magnolia Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
36.7% of students exceeded standard while 30.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 15.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.9 points above the Upland Unified district average of 23.8%. Compared to the 19 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 15.1 points higher (vs 21.5% 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 6.4 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%.
