Most rating sites report "50% proficient" for Rio San Gabriel Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
26.6% of students exceeded standard while 23.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 5.6 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.5 points above the Downey Unified district average of 24.0%. Compared to the 27 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.9 points higher (vs 22.6% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
