Most rating sites report "32% proficient" for Volta Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
9.6% of students exceeded standard while 22.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 11.4 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Los Banos Unified district average of 9.7%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 5.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 21.9%, above the state average of 18.7%.
