Most rating sites report "41% proficient" for Sunflower Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
16.8% of students exceeded standard while 24.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.2 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.7 points above the El Centro Elementary district average of 13.1%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.0 points higher (vs 14.7% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
