Most rating sites report "39% proficient" for Mira Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
17.5% of students exceeded standard while 21.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.1 points above the West Contra Costa Unified district average of 12.3%. Compared to the 20 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.6 points higher (vs 11.9% 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 5.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 21.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
