Most rating sites report "65% proficient" for Sequoia Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
39.7% of students exceeded standard while 24.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 18.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 25.5 points above the Oakland Unified district average of 14.2%. Compared to the 31 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.3 points higher (vs 22.4% 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 7.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 12.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
