Most rating sites report "79% proficient" for Bay Farm and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
50.6% of students exceeded standard while 28.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 29.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.6 points above the Alameda Unified district average of 40.1%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.0 points higher (vs 41.7% 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%.
