Most rating sites report "72% proficient" for Beach Park Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
53.1% of students exceeded standard while 19.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 32.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 22.7 points above the San Mateo-Foster City district average of 30.5%. Compared to the 13 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 12.6 points higher (vs 40.5% 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 8.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
