What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "90% proficient" for Canyon Crest Academy and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

69.1% of students exceeded standard while 20.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 53.6 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 30.6 points above the San Dieguito Union High district average of 38.5%. Compared to the 1 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 26.9 points higher (vs 42.2% 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 99.8% — above the state target. 87.8% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 86.2% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 5.4%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
