Most rating sites report "66% proficient" for Wolf Canyon Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
43.5% of students exceeded standard while 22.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 22.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 18.7 points above the Chula Vista Elementary district average of 24.7%. Compared to the 12 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 10.1 points higher (vs 33.4% 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 14.3%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
