Most rating sites report "60% proficient" for Rio Seco Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
32.2% of students exceeded standard while 27.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 11.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.6 points above the Santee district average of 26.6%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 10.4 points higher (vs 21.7% 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 3.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
