Most rating sites report "58% proficient" for Deer Canyon Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
30.3% of students exceeded standard while 27.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.2 points below the Alta Loma Elementary district average of 32.6%. Compared to the 16 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.0 points higher (vs 27.3% 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 7.4%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
