Most rating sites report "57% proficient" for Willow Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
32.2% of students exceeded standard while 24.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 11.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.6 points above the Charter Oak Unified district average of 21.6%. Compared to the 13 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.1 points higher (vs 28.1% 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 49.8 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 25.3%, above the state average of 18.7%.
