What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for Garey High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

16.7% of students exceeded standard while 22.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is near the state average of 15.5%. That's 5.0 points above the Pomona Unified district average of 11.7%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 3.2 points higher (vs 13.5% 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 93.8% — above the state target. 46.3% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility. 61.6% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 29.8%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
