Most rating sites report "17% proficient" for San Joaquin Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
3.6% of students exceeded standard while 13.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.3 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.1 points below the Golden Plains Unified district average of 5.7%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 1.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 30.3%, above the state average of 18.7%.
