Most rating sites report "87% proficient" for Oak Avenue Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
67.5% of students exceeded standard while 19.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 46.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.1 points above the Los Altos Elementary district average of 65.4%. Compared to the 19 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 14.7 points higher (vs 52.8% 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 2.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
