What other rankings don't show you

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

13.2% of students exceeded standard while 18.3% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.3 points below the state average of 15.5%. That's 10.7 points below the Huntington Beach Union High district average of 23.8%. The 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles average 24.7% exceeded — 11.5 points higher. 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 91.1% — above the state target. 46.4% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility. 69.6% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 30.0%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
