What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "31% proficient" for Maywood Academy High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

12.1% of students exceeded standard while 18.8% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 3.4 points below the state average of 15.5%. That's 6.8 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. Compared to the 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.2 points higher (vs 9.9% 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 83.8%. 58.6% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 40.4% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 34.3%, above the state average of 34.0%.
