Most rating sites report "66% proficient" for Montclair Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
39.8% of students exceeded standard while 26.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 18.8 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 25.6 points above the Oakland Unified district average of 14.2%. Compared to the 22 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.2 points higher (vs 31.6% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
