Most rating sites report "59% proficient" for Cambridge Heights Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
25.3% of students exceeded standard while 33.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.4 points above the San Juan Unified district average of 13.0%. Compared to the 12 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 17.4 points higher (vs 7.9% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
