Most rating sites report "34% proficient" for Adams Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
11.4% of students exceeded standard while 22.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 9.5 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.1 points below the Riverside Unified district average of 16.5%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 10.5% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
