Most rating sites report "29% proficient" for Walnut Grove Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
7.0% of students exceeded standard while 22.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 14.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.8 points below the River Delta Joint Unified district average of 14.8%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 31.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 28.0%, above the state average of 18.7%.
