Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Otay Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
17.6% of students exceeded standard while 18.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.4 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.2 points below the Chula Vista Elementary district average of 24.7%. Compared to the 32 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.6 points higher (vs 15.0% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
