What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "40% proficient" for South East High and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

13.4% of students exceeded standard while 26.4% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 2.1 points below the state average of 15.5%. That's 5.5 points below the Los Angeles Unified district average of 18.8%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 14.7% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.

Chronic absenteeism is 37.7%, above the state average of 34.0%.
