Most rating sites report "34% proficient" for Manzanita Elementary Charter and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

12.4% of students exceeded standard while 22.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 11.4 points below the Rincon Valley Union Elementary district average of 23.9%. The 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 23.2% exceeded — 10.8 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 8.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 14.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
