What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "46% proficient" for Los Amigos High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

21.6% of students exceeded standard while 24.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 6.1 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 6.8 points below the Garden Grove Unified district average of 28.3%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 20.9% 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.

The graduation rate is 90.7% — above the state target. 60.6% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 73.5% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 19.4%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
