Most rating sites report "57% proficient" for Sequoia Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
27.3% of students exceeded standard while 29.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.5 points above the Rincon Valley Union Elementary district average of 23.9%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.0 points higher (vs 23.4% 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 8.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
