Most rating sites report "46% proficient" for Elderberry Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
20.6% of students exceeded standard while 25.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.4 points above the Ontario-Montclair district average of 17.3%. Compared to the 27 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.5 points higher (vs 18.1% 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 7.2%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
