Most rating sites report "55% proficient" for Northwood Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
27.1% of students exceeded standard while 28.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.2 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 11.0 points above the Napa Valley Unified district average of 16.2%. Compared to the 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 13.8 points higher (vs 13.4% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
