Most rating sites report "78% proficient" for Sycamore Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
48.7% of students exceeded standard while 29.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 27.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 19.9 points above the Claremont Unified district average of 28.7%. Compared to the 22 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 31.5 points higher (vs 17.2% 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 7.3 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.9%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
