Most rating sites report "35% proficient" for Westwood Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
17.3% of students exceeded standard while 17.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.7 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Mt. Diablo Unified district average of 18.8%. Compared to the 14 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.0 points higher (vs 14.2% 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 12.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 22.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
