Most rating sites report "35% proficient" for Yucca Mesa Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

14.1% of students exceeded standard while 21.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.9 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's near the Morongo Unified district average of 12.6%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Proficiency drops by 10.4 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.

Chronic absenteeism is 22.8%, above the state average of 18.7%.
