Most rating sites report "85% proficient" for Neil A. Armstrong Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
57.9% of students exceeded standard while 27.2% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 36.9 points above the state average of 21.0%.

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