Most rating sites report "51% proficient" for New Lexington Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.5% of students exceeded standard while 25.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.0 points above the El Monte City district average of 19.4%. Compared to the 28 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.8 points higher (vs 18.6% 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 12.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 0.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
