Most rating sites report "64% proficient" for Post Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
38.8% of students exceeded standard while 25.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.8 points above the Garden Grove Unified district average of 28.9%. Compared to the 43 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 11.3 points higher (vs 27.5% 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 2.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
