Most rating sites report "51% proficient" for Sonoma Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.1% of students exceeded standard while 26.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 14.0 points above the Modesto City Elementary district average of 11.0%. Compared to the 18 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 11.8 points higher (vs 13.3% 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 9.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 13.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
