Most rating sites report "19% proficient" for Washington Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
6.2% of students exceeded standard while 13.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 14.7 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.1 points below the West Contra Costa Unified district average of 12.3%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.8 points higher (vs 2.5% 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 2.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 21.6%, above the state average of 18.7%.
