To rank these schools against each other, or against the rest of the state, use the San Mateo County rankings. Other counties are on the county index.

A dash means the University of California published no admit counts for that school in 2025 — usually a class too small to report without identifying students, not a school that performed poorly. The list excludes nonclassroom-based online charters, which enroll statewide, and schools the California Department of Education records with no 12th grade. Campus-level admit counts may double-count a student admitted to more than one UC campus.
