College readiness

Getting ready for college

These come from the state and federal files, not from UC — so they are here whether or not Empire Springs Charter School has a UC admissions record.

A-G Completion ⓘ

About half of graduates finish the UC/CSU course requirements — about the state norm.

47%

41 of 87 graduates · 2024-25 cohort

In context: CA median 55.9% · -8.8 pp vs. median.

SBAC academic outcomes — grade 11, 2025

Share of grade-11 students meeting or exceeding the California standard on Smarter Balanced ELA and Math. This is the academic-readiness signal that pairs with UC Reach (post-grad outcomes), stability (retention), and absenteeism (engagement). Note: statewide median Math is only ~20% — a school at 20% isn't an outlier; one at 45%+ genuinely is.

About 6 in 10 students read and write at grade level — above the state norm.

About 1 in 3 students do math at grade level — above the state norm.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25
