Most rating sites report "81% proficient" for Edison Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
50.3% of students exceeded standard while 30.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 29.3 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 9.0 points above the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified district average of 41.3%. Compared to the 21 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 9.7 points higher (vs 40.6% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
