Most rating sites report "53% proficient" for Rowland Avenue Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
26.7% of students exceeded standard while 26.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 5.7 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 3.5 points above the Covina-Valley Unified district average of 23.1%. Compared to the 24 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 7.1 points higher (vs 19.5% 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 6.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
