Most rating sites report "79% proficient" for Arroyo Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
52.8% of students exceeded standard while 26.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 31.9 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 18.5 points above the Tustin Unified district average of 34.3%. Compared to the 20 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 19.9 points higher (vs 33.0% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 3.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
