Most rating sites report "70% proficient" for Valencia Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
43.2% of students exceeded standard while 27.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 22.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 15.8 points above the Saddleback Valley Unified district average of 27.4%. Compared to the 18 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 13.4 points higher (vs 29.7% 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 19.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 5.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
