Most rating sites report "13% proficient" for Margaret Keating Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
1.0% of students exceeded standard while 11.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 20.0 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 6.0 points below the Del Norte County Unified district average of 7.0%. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
