Most rating sites report "15% proficient" for Dover Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
3.2% of students exceeded standard while 11.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.1 points below the Fairfield-Suisun Unified district average of 13.3%. The 14 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 11.0% exceeded — 7.8 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
