Most rating sites report "61% proficient" for Plymouth Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
39.4% of students exceeded standard while 21.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 18.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.2 points above the Monrovia Unified district average of 27.2%. Compared to the 23 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 15.5 points higher (vs 23.9% 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 0.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 11.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
