What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Moore Middle and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

21.9% of students exceeded standard while 25.1% met it. That exceeded rate is 4.6 points above the state average of 17.3%. That's near the Redlands Unified district average of 21.2%. Compared to the 2 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.1 points higher (vs 17.8% average).
