Most rating sites report "85% proficient" for Sunset Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
53.9% of students exceeded standard while 30.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 32.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 28.9 points above the San Francisco Unified district average of 24.9%. Compared to the 18 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.1 points higher (vs 36.8% 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 6.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 5.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
