What other rankings don't show you
Most rating sites report "21% proficient" for Los Angeles Senior High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
6.9% of students exceeded standard while 14.4% met it. That exceeded rate is 8.6 points below the state average of 15.5%. That's 11.9 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. The 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 13.2% exceeded — 6.3 points higher. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.
The graduation rate is 91.6% — above the state target. 61.0% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 57.7% of graduates go on to college within a year.
Chronic absenteeism is 45.1%, above the state average of 34.0%.
