Most rating sites report "62% proficient" for Sunnyside Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
40.8% of students exceeded standard while 21.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 15.9 points above the San Francisco Unified district average of 24.9%. Compared to the 41 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 19.2 points higher (vs 21.6% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
