Most rating sites report "54% proficient" for Shasta Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
29.1% of students exceeded standard while 25.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 8.7 points above the Chico Unified district average of 20.4%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 4.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 10.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
