Most rating sites report "63% proficient" for Presidio Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
34.3% of students exceeded standard while 28.8% met it. That exceeded rate is 17.0 points above the state average of 17.3%. That's 11.2 points above the San Francisco Unified district average of 23.2%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 35.0% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.
Proficiency drops by 5.7 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
California's Dashboard shows ELA performance increased and Math increased significantly year-over-year. 28.2% of English learners reached Level 4 (Well Developed) on ELPAC.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.5%, better than the state average of 19.3%.
