Most rating sites report "71% proficient" for Sunset Ranch Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
43.2% of students exceeded standard while 27.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 22.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 8.2 points above the Rocklin Unified district average of 35.0%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 10.9 points higher (vs 32.3% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
