Most rating sites report "70% proficient" for Newport Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
40.8% of students exceeded standard while 29.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 8.9 points above the Newport-Mesa Unified district average of 32.0%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.9 points higher (vs 33.9% 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 5.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 12.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
