Most rating sites report "55% proficient" for Santa Fe Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
26.4% of students exceeded standard while 28.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 5.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 13.4 points above the Porterville Unified district average of 13.0%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 13.6 points higher (vs 12.8% 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 12.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
