Most rating sites report "54% proficient" for John A. Rowland High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

28.8% of students exceeded standard while 25.6% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 13.3 points above the state average of 15.5%.

The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
