    On the reasonable assumption that doing better means something like, did better relative to the other students in her school, the second student did better. The first student did somewhat worse than most of the students at her school - - if the scores fit a normal distribution then 85% outscored her. The second student, on the other hand, did better than almost all of the students at her school - - if the scores fit a normal distribution then she did better than 95% of her peers.
