Most rating sites report "73% proficient" for Alder Creek Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
45.4% of students exceeded standard while 28.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 24.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 16.6 points above the Folsom-Cordova Unified district average of 28.8%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.5 points higher (vs 42.9% average).
