Most rating sites report "55% proficient" for Nordstrom Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
27.6% of students exceeded standard while 27.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.1 points above the Morgan Hill Unified district average of 17.5%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.9 points higher (vs 17.7% 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 2.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 15.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
