What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "29% proficient" for Katella High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

7.6% of students exceeded standard while 21.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 7.9 points below the state average of 15.5%. That's 12.3 points below the Anaheim Union High district average of 19.8%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 5.6% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 31.7%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
