Most rating sites report "76% proficient" for Sunset Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
48.3% of students exceeded standard while 27.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 27.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 14.6 points above the Livermore Valley Joint Unified district average of 33.6%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 14.8 points higher (vs 33.5% 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 13.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 8.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
