What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "41% proficient" for Sutter Creek Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
18.4% of students exceeded standard while 22.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.6 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.2 points above the Amador County Unified district average of 11.1%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 14.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 15.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
