California high schools by UC Reach Score

Top-six UC admits per 100 seniors, from the University of California's own school-by-school counts. A student admitted to three UCs counts three times, which is why a strong school scores above 100. 2025 cycle, schools with at least 100 seniors.

Feeder schools, college by college

Which high schools send the most graduates to one college — read off 208 high schools' own published, numbered matriculation lists. Each college's page ranks its schools by graduates per class year enrolling there, from the school's own published list; totals and years are shown. 573 colleges are named by three or more schools on one of those two lists, and the number beside each college below is how many schools name it on either. Every page carries TWO ranked lists where both exist — Enrolled, from the schools' matriculation lists, and Admitted, from the schools' acceptance lists (484 colleges have one) — kept apart, never added together.

High schools by Ivy+ enrollment

Graduates enrolling at the Ivy+ twelve — Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, MIT, the University of Chicago and Duke — as a per-class-year average, so a one-year list and a five-year list can sit on the same page.

1 Horace Mann School
Bronx, NY 69.3 per year
2 Harvard-Westlake School
Studio City, CA 69.0 per year
3 Choate Rosemary Hall
Wallingford, CT 61.2 per year

High schools by Ivy+ admits

Admissions to the same Ivy+ twelve, from the schools' own published lists of college acceptances — where their graduates were admitted, not where they enrolled. Admits are counted at each college, so a student admitted to three of them counts three times, exactly as the UC Reach Score counts a student admitted to three UC campuses. Per class year, and never added to the enrollment board above.

1 The Chapin School
New York, NY 30.6 per year
2 Middlesex School
Concord, MA 24.0 per year
3 National Cathedral School
Washington, DC 21.7 per year

High schools by the colleges their graduates chose

How many different colleges a school's own published list names — the breadth of where one school's graduates actually went. Counted as published, with the class years that list covers shown beside it, because the colleges on a list do not multiply the way graduates do.

1 Western Reserve Academy
Hudson, OH 235 colleges
2 Saddle River Day School
Saddle River, NJ 209 colleges
3 Germantown Academy
Fort Washington, PA 182 colleges

Boarding schools by Ivy+ enrollment

The Ivy+ board, filtered to the schools the TABS member directory lists as boarding — boarding per the directory, never inferred from a school's name.

1 Choate Rosemary Hall

Lawrenceville, NJ 52.2 per year
3 Milton Academy

How to read these lists

A school that is not on this page did not publish a numbered matriculation list we could read — that is all absence means here. It is never a statement about a school's graduates. Lists of acceptances (where students were admitted, not where they enrolled) are never counted in this ranking: an acceptances list runs about three times an enrollment list, so counting the two together would compare different things. Those lists are ranked on their own, separately.

A school that is not on this page did not publish a numbered list of the colleges that admitted its graduates — that is all absence means here, and it is never a statement about a school's graduates. Many schools publish only where their graduates enrolled; those lists are ranked separately, because an acceptances list runs about three times an enrollment list and the two are never added together or ranked against each other.

College names are matched exactly as each school printed them, against the federal name or a curated spelling. A name that could mean two colleges is left out rather than guessed, so a count here can be lower than the count on the school's own page.

Sources: each private school's own School Profile or matriculation page, linked on every board; the University of California's school-by-school admissions counts; California Department of Education, College-Going Rate (DataQuest), cohort 2022-23; the Texas Education Agency's TAPR reporting; and, for which schools board their students, the TABS member directory. A published list is a document — we copy it, we do not audit it.

Enrolled and admitted are two different published lists and are never mixed: an enrollment list counts the graduates who actually went to a college (one student, one college), while an acceptances list counts every college that admitted them — so a student admitted to three colleges appears three times, exactly as a student admitted to three UC campuses counts three times in the UC Reach Score.
