Most rating sites report "69% proficient" for Grant Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
39.5% of students exceeded standard while 29.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 18.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 22.5 points above the Petaluma City Elementary district average of 17.0%. Compared to the 10 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 26.0 points higher (vs 13.6% 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 8.8%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
