Most rating sites report "42% proficient" for Riverway Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
19.1% of students exceeded standard while 23.1% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 21.0%. That's 2.6 points above the Visalia Unified district average of 16.4%. Compared to the 11 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.4 points higher (vs 15.7% 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 20.2%, above the state average of 18.7%.
