Most rating sites report "75% proficient" for Edison Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

52.7% of students exceeded standard while 22.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 31.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 12.6 points above the Alameda Unified district average of 40.1%. Compared to the 25 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 33.2 points higher (vs 19.5% average).
