Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for Parkwood Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
10.9% of students exceeded standard while 21.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.7 points above the Madera Unified district average of 8.2%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.7 points higher (vs 6.3% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 25.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
