What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "75% proficient" for Middle College High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

43.9% of students exceeded standard while 31.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 28.4 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 34.0 points above the Santa Ana Unified district average of 9.9%. Compared to the 8 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 34.5 points higher (vs 9.5% 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 100.0% — above the state target. 97.9% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 88.4% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 4.9%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
