Most rating sites report "71% proficient" for Redwood Heights Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
44.4% of students exceeded standard while 26.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 23.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 30.2 points above the Oakland Unified district average of 14.2%. Compared to the 23 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 30.7 points higher (vs 13.7% 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 6.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 10.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
