Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for McKinley Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

17.7% of students exceeded standard while 22.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.3 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.6 points above the El Centro Elementary district average of 13.1%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.5 points higher (vs 14.2% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
