Most rating sites report "75% proficient" for Niles Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
50.1% of students exceeded standard while 25.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 29.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.3 points above the Fremont Unified district average of 45.8%. Compared to the 14 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.3 points higher (vs 32.8% 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 6.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
