Most rating sites report "56% proficient" for Sequoia Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
30.4% of students exceeded standard while 25.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.1 points above the Westminster district average of 24.3%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 32.3% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 26.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 9.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
