What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "47% proficient" for Segerstrom High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

19.9% of students exceeded standard while 26.7% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 4.4 points above the state average of 15.5%. That's 10.0 points above the Santa Ana Unified district average of 9.9%. Compared to the 9 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 4.6 points higher (vs 15.3% 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 98.5% — above the state target. 64.2% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility — a strong college readiness signal. 88.0% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 15.6%, better than the state average of 34.0%.
