What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "76% proficient" for Monte Vista High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

42.6% of students exceeded standard while 32.9% met it. That exceeded rate is 27.1 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 5.3 points below the San Ramon Valley Unified district average of 47.9%. Compared to the 1 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 7.2 points higher (vs 35.4% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.

The graduation rate is 98.7% — above the state target. 68.4% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 86.7% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 7.4%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
