Most rating sites report "70% proficient" for Villa Park Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
40.4% of students exceeded standard while 29.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 14.3 points above the Orange Unified district average of 26.1%. Compared to the 19 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 18.5 points higher (vs 21.9% 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 9.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
