Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for Thompson Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
11.1% of students exceeded standard while 21.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the San Bernardino City Unified district average of 10.0%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 9.9% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 29.5%, above the state average of 18.7%.
