What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "65% proficient" for El Dorado High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

35.1% of students exceeded standard while 30.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 19.6 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's near the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified district average of 35.2%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 15.1 points higher (vs 20.0% 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 96.7% — above the state target. 62.8% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 83.2% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 13.1%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
