Most rating sites report "79% proficient" for Olinda Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
54.9% of students exceeded standard while 24.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 33.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 18.2 points above the Brea-Olinda Unified district average of 36.7%. Compared to the 14 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 13.6 points higher (vs 41.3% 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 4.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
