Most rating sites report "64% proficient" for Corona del Mar High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
32.9% of students exceeded standard while 31.5% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 17.4 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 3.3 points above the Newport-Mesa Unified district average of 29.6%. Compared to the 4 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 21.0 points higher (vs 11.9% 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 96.5% — above the state target. 71.4% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 90.3% of graduates go on to college within a year.
