Most rating sites report "42% proficient" for Olive Street Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
18.9% of students exceeded standard while 22.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.1 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 5.9 points above the Porterville Unified district average of 13.0%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 6.2 points higher (vs 12.7% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
