16.8% of students exceeded standard while 19.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.2 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.4 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 21.2%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 15.0% 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.
