Most rating sites report "48% proficient" for Palm Avenue Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
21.9% of students exceeded standard while 26.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 11.9 points above the San Bernardino City Unified district average of 10.0%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.2 points higher (vs 13.7% 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 7.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 16.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
