Most rating sites report "39% proficient" for Willow Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
19.8% of students exceeded standard while 19.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.6 points above the Napa Valley Unified district average of 16.2%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.9 points higher (vs 15.9% 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 26.1 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 14.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
