What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Burbank High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
23.0% of students exceeded standard while 23.7% met it. That exceeded rate is 7.5 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's near the Burbank Unified district average of 24.6%. Compared to the 3 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 8.8 points higher (vs 14.2% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.
The graduation rate is 97.5% — above the state target. 53.6% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 77.5% of graduates go on to college within a year.
Chronic absenteeism is 19.9%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
