Most rating sites report "30% proficient" for Shaffer Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
8.1% of students exceeded standard while 22.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 11.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 26.7%, above the state average of 18.7%.
