Most rating sites report "35% proficient" for Orchard Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
17.5% of students exceeded standard while 17.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.5 points above the Twin Rivers Unified district average of 13.0%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 7.6 points higher (vs 9.9% 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 21.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 22.6%, above the state average of 18.7%.
