Most rating sites report "76% proficient" for Westwood Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
49.1% of students exceeded standard while 27.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 28.1 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.7 points above the Poway Unified district average of 46.4%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.7 points higher (vs 45.4% 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 4.2 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 7.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
