Most rating sites report "65% proficient" for Arcadia High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
37.9% of students exceeded standard while 26.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 22.4 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 6.8 points below the Arcadia Unified district average of 44.6%. Compared to the 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 20.2 points higher (vs 17.7% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
The graduation rate is 99.1% — above the state target. 65.1% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 89.7% of graduates go on to college within a year.
Chronic absenteeism is 6.6%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
