What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "49% proficient" for Oakland Technical High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

26.0% of students exceeded standard while 22.9% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 10.5 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 13.6 points above the Oakland Unified district average of 12.4%. Compared to the 12 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 12.2 points higher (vs 13.8% 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 94.0% — above the state target. 79.9% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 79.5% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 24.3%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
