Most rating sites report "34% proficient" for Wilson Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

13.0% of students exceeded standard while 21.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 8.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.0 points above the Santa Ana Unified district average of 9.0%. Compared to the 40 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.5 points higher (vs 10.5% average).
