Most rating sites report "70% proficient" for Moulton Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
46.3% of students exceeded standard while 23.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 25.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.3 points above the Capistrano Unified district average of 39.0%. Compared to the 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.2 points higher (vs 43.2% 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 14.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
