Most rating sites report "75% proficient" for Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
46.3% of students exceeded standard while 29.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 25.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 26.2 points above the Simi Valley Unified district average of 20.1%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 29.3 points higher (vs 17.0% 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 10.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.0%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
