Most rating sites report "90% proficient" for Springer Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
70.3% of students exceeded standard while 19.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 49.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.9 points above the Los Altos Elementary district average of 65.4%. Compared to the 19 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.0 points higher (vs 53.3% 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 3.9 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 5.5%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
