Most rating sites report "51% proficient" for Montera Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
23.5% of students exceeded standard while 27.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.2 points above the Ontario-Montclair district average of 17.3%. Compared to the 26 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 5.9 points higher (vs 17.6% 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 9.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 9.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
