Most rating sites report "54% proficient" for Stanton Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
29.9% of students exceeded standard while 23.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.4 points below the Castro Valley Unified district average of 40.3%. Compared to the 13 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.6 points higher (vs 20.3% 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 12.0 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
