What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "68% proficient" for Irvine High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

40.0% of students exceeded standard while 27.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 24.5 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 4.5 points below the Irvine Unified district average of 44.5%. Compared to the 7 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 10.5 points higher (vs 29.5% 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. 72.5% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 90.0% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 8.4%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
