Most rating sites report "55% proficient" for Sakamoto Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
33.9% of students exceeded standard while 21.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.1 points above the Oak Grove Elementary district average of 21.8%. Compared to the 13 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.3 points higher (vs 27.6% 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 12.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 9.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
