Most rating sites report "54% proficient" for Starr Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
24.3% of students exceeded standard while 30.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 11.2 points above the Fresno Unified district average of 13.1%. Compared to the 13 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.7 points higher (vs 15.7% 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 10.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 19.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
