Coronado High: High scores, healthy climate, strong attendance. We looked for a catch — we didn't find one.

Coronado posts 40.4% exceeding the standard — versus 15.8% statewide — with climate numbers better than most. That doesn't make it perfect. It makes it worth a visit to find what numbers can't measure.

Coronado's low-income kids hit 69.2% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.
