Most rating sites report "77% proficient" for Westwood Charter Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
51.3% of students exceeded standard while 25.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 30.3 points above the state average of 21.0%.

The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
