Where these figures come fromEach measure’s source, student group and definition
- Graduated in four years
- 2024–25 · 14 of 65 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records.
- Ready for college or career (state measure)
- 2024–25 · 1 of 66 students in the state’s measure. California Department of Education, College/Career Indicator (CCI), overall “Prepared” rate, among the students in the indicator’s group. Prepared is CDE’s overall classification, not AP participation or a college admission rate.
- Finished the UC/CSU course list
- 2024–25 · 0 of 14 graduates finished the UC/CSU course list. California Department of Education, A–G completion records (graduates who met the UC/CSU course requirements). Course completion is separate from college enrollment.
- Where students who finished high school went
- CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.
