- Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. BASIS Independent Fremont Upper School publishes where its graduates go (Class of 2025): 91 colleges, including Boston University, California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University.
- The UC pipeline here is real. 102 admissions to the top six UC campuses for a class of 48 seniors puts this school in the top handful of schools in California.
- Students who test here average 1487.1 on the SAT. That's far above the national average of about 1030 — as published in the school's own profile.
- Elite admits are rare — here and everywhere. Berkeley and UCLA admitted 23 of this class's 277 UC applications. The strong middle campuses — San Diego, Santa Barbara, Irvine, Davis — are where most real UC outcomes happen.
- One question for any counselor: who should still test? Plenty of strong students skip the SAT/ACT now — but merit scholarships at dozens of colleges still key off scores. Ask how the school decides who should still sit for one.

Objective, government-grade data — no school pays us for placement.
No SBAC data for private schools — and that's not the metric you want anyway
California's Smarter Balanced (CAASPP) assessment is administered by the state, by statute, to public & charter schools only. Private schools don't sit for it. That's why the SBAC card is missing on this profile — not a data gap on our side, a deliberate scope of the state's testing program.
For private schools, UC Reach is the stronger academic signal anyway. SBAC measures grade-11 inputs (proficiency on a state standard); UC Reach measures outputs (who actually got into the most selective UCs). For private-school families weighing tuition against college outcomes, the outputs are the relevant signal.

UC Outcomes Trend — 2024–2025
Class size from CDE grade 12 enrollment. Campus-level data: applicant and admit totals count a student once at EACH campus. A senior admitted to UCLA and UC San Diego adds 2 to the admit total, so the total can exceed the senior class — that is the metric working as defined, not an error. The admit RATE is unaffected: both its numerator and denominator are campus-level.
