Standards BELOW and ABOVE

Could you say ?

1 SHe's below your standards.

2 She's above your standards. She's hotter than you.

I don't know if you can say ABOVE your standards.

Thanks

If someone is above you, they are in a higher social position than you or in a position of authority over you. But I wouldn't use it your way, because someone's standard sounds awkward. Standard is a set of rules.
