Most rating sites report "25% proficient" for Fairbanks Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
8.8% of students exceeded standard while 16.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 12.2 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.2 points below the Twin Rivers Unified district average of 13.0%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 9.0% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
