Most rating sites report "92% proficient" for John Muir Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
69.7% of students exceeded standard while 22.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 48.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 11.7 points above the Cupertino Union district average of 58.0%. Compared to the 20 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 12.0 points higher (vs 57.7% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 1.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
