Most rating sites report "82% proficient" for Torrey Pines Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
61.2% of students exceeded standard while 20.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 40.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 35.9 points above the San Diego Unified district average of 25.3%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 24.7 points higher (vs 36.5% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 6.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 10.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
