Most rating sites report "81% proficient" for San Marino High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
49.8% of students exceeded standard while 31.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 34.3 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 11.2 points below the San Marino Unified district average of 61.0%. Compared to the 6 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 30.5 points higher (vs 19.3% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
