Most rating sites report "78% proficient" for Acacia Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
52.7% of students exceeded standard while 24.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 31.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 24.0 points above the Fullerton Elementary district average of 28.8%. Compared to the 24 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 28.5 points higher (vs 24.2% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
