What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

8.9% of students exceeded standard while 30.6% met it. That exceeded rate is 6.8 points below the state average of 15.7%. That's 6.6 points below the Sacramento City Unified district average of 15.5%. The 5 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 15.5% exceeded — 6.6 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.
