Most rating sites report "73% proficient" for Meadows Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
45.2% of students exceeded standard while 27.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 24.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.1 points above the Millbrae Elementary district average of 41.1%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.4 points higher (vs 40.8% 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 9.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
