What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "66% proficient" for Claremont High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

39.7% of students exceeded standard while 26.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 24.2 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 11.8 points above the Claremont Unified district average of 27.8%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 31.0 points higher (vs 8.7% 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 98.2% — above the state target. 67.0% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 81.5% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 17.1%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
