Most rating sites report "62% proficient" for Thomas Edison Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
31.3% of students exceeded standard while 30.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.6 points above the Jefferson Elementary district average of 23.7%. Compared to the 18 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.0 points higher (vs 23.3% 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 9.5 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 5.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
