Most rating sites report "46% proficient" for Rowan Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
23.1% of students exceeded standard while 23.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.2 points below the San Diego Unified district average of 25.3%. Compared to the 39 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.0 points higher (vs 14.0% 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 7.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 20.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
