Most rating sites report "85% proficient" for West Hillsborough and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
65.1% of students exceeded standard while 19.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 44.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.5 points below the Hillsborough City Elementary district average of 71.6%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 16.8 points higher (vs 48.3% 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 2.7 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 2.1%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
