Most rating sites report "48% proficient" for Pioneer Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.4% of students exceeded standard while 22.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.6 points above the Brentwood Union district average of 22.8%. Compared to the 15 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.4 points higher (vs 16.0% 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 3.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
