Five years in each number, not one. CSU publishes campus counts only as five-year totals, so these aren’t comparable to the fall 2025 figures above or to UC’s one-fall campus bars.

Common questions

Why doesn't Junipero Serra High School have a Scope Score?

Private schools don't take California's state tests (CAASPP), so there is no state testing data for Junipero Serra High School to score. SchoolScope gives private schools no Scope Score, performance band, or rank.

Where do Junipero Serra High School's directory facts come from?

The enrollment, grade-span, and student–teacher figures shown here, when present, come from the NCES Private School Universe Survey 2021-22. That survey-period record is not a current enrollment or inspection report.

What AP courses are offered at Junipero Serra High School?

Junipero Serra High School had own-school AP authorizations for 3 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Precalculus. The audit does not establish that a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams.
