Most rating sites report "36% proficient" for Rio Vista Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
18.7% of students exceeded standard while 17.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.3 points below the state average of 21.0%. That's 7.2 points above the Palm Springs Unified district average of 11.5%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.1 points higher (vs 16.6% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 14.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
