Most rating sites report "78% proficient" for Dry Creek Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
48.6% of students exceeded standard while 29.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 27.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 15.7 points above the Clovis Unified district average of 32.9%. Compared to the 9 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 15.8 points higher (vs 32.8% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
