What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "91% proficient" for Mission San Jose High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

73.6% of students exceeded standard while 17.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 58.1 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 27.4 points above the Fremont Unified district average of 46.2%. Compared to the 2 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 41.9 points higher (vs 31.7% 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 96.1% — above the state target. 91.6% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 88.1% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 10.8%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
