Most rating sites report "56% proficient" for Barranca Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
27.4% of students exceeded standard while 28.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.4 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 4.2 points above the Covina-Valley Unified district average of 23.1%. Compared to the 19 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.1 points higher (vs 23.3% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
