Most rating sites report "65% proficient" for Benjamin Franklin Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
34.5% of students exceeded standard while 30.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 13.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 18.0 points above the Riverside Unified district average of 16.5%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 15.0 points higher (vs 19.6% 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 11.7%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
