Most rating sites report "41% proficient" for Vang Pao Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
16.2% of students exceeded standard while 25.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.8 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.1 points above the Fresno Unified district average of 13.1%. Compared to the 30 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.3 points higher (vs 11.9% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 23.1%, above the state average of 18.7%.
