11th-12th graders who took 1+ college admissions test

Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2020-21). Volume — not score — is what's reported here. A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline. Note: 2020-21 was COVID-disrupted; some districts (especially those that stayed remote longer) report unusually low or zero takers.

College readiness

These come from the state and federal files, not from UC — so they are here whether or not Bayside Academy has a UC admissions record.

Student-Counselor Ratio
Counseling here is unusually well-staffed — about 267 students per counselor, near what experts recommend.

Chronic absenteeism — 2024-25

Share of students missing 10% or more of expected attendance — the leading indicator that often precedes the demand decline shown above. Families disengaging tend to raise absenteeism first, then formally leave. Basis: total enrollment.

24% of students are chronically absent — near the state norm of about 21%.
Chronic absent
23.8%
207 of 869 students

Absenteeism is up 15.5 pp since 2017-18. A rising absenteeism trend often precedes formal departure — worth investigating which subgroups are driving it.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25

Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the San Mateo County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.

92% of students who start the year here finish it here.

Source: California Department of Education, Stability Rate 2024-25.
