Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for Piru Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
11.9% of students exceeded standard while 20.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Fillmore Unified district average of 12.2%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 14.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 13.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
