What other rankings don't show you

Most rating sites report "29% proficient" for The MET and stop there. Here's what that number hides:

13.0% of students exceeded standard while 16.0% met it. That exceeded rate is 2.7 points below the state average of 15.7%. That's 2.5 points below the Sacramento City Unified district average of 15.5%. Nearby schools (within ~3 miles) average 12.2% exceeded — about the same. The gap between "met" and "exceeded" can reveal how much a school's curriculum challenges students beyond proficiency.

The graduation rate is 88.6%. 28.2% of students complete A-G requirements for UC/CSU eligibility. 73.8% of graduates go on to college within a year.

Chronic absenteeism is 12.1%, better than the state average of 34.3%.
