Most rating sites report "78% proficient" for Pantera Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
52.4% of students exceeded standard while 25.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 31.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 40.3 points above the Pomona Unified district average of 12.1%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 20.4 points higher (vs 31.9% 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 6.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 3.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
