Most rating sites report "66% proficient" for Empresa Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
36.6% of students exceeded standard while 29.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 15.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 18.6 points above the Vista Unified district average of 18.0%. Compared to the 12 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 16.6 points higher (vs 20.0% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
