Most rating sites report "67% proficient" for Vejar Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
40.4% of students exceeded standard while 26.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 8.1 points below the Walnut Valley Unified district average of 48.5%. Compared to the 15 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.3 points higher (vs 32.1% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
