- Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Flintridge Preparatory School publishes where its graduates go (2022-2026): 130 colleges, including Amherst College*, Boston College*, Boston University*, Bowdoin College.
- The UC pipeline here is real. 109 admissions to the top six UC campuses for a class of 106 seniors puts this school in the top handful of schools in California.
- Kids here turn down top UCs. Students admitted to Berkeley and UCLA from this school often enroll somewhere even more selective — a pattern seen only at schools whose graduates have elite options beyond the UC system.
- A deeply UC-focused culture. Seniors here file about 3.7 UC applications each — among the most UC-oriented schools in California. The counseling office lives and breathes this system.
- 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.

Flintridge Preparatory School sent 397 applications to the six most selective University of California campuses and 27.5% were admitted, producing a UC Reach Score of 103 (top-6 UC admits per 100 seniors, counting a student at each campus that admitted them) — 84 points above the California median of 19, higher than 100% of California high schools. The school produces 25.5 UCLA + UC Berkeley admits per 100 seniors.
Flintridge Preparatory School earns admission to the six most selective UC campuses at a high rate (103 UC Reach Score), yet only about 37% of its Berkeley and UCLA admits go on to enroll there — well below the roughly 60% statewide. High admit rates paired with low enrollment at the very top UCs is the data signature of a class with options even more selective than the UCs — the kind of student who turns down Berkeley or UCLA only for a college even harder to get into.
An honest read of what the data holds: admissions and enrollment counts, not destinations. We don't track where any student enrolled, so this is a signature consistent with more-selective choices — not a claim about specific colleges. We measure Berkeley and UCLA together and against the statewide rate, so it isn't just a student picking a different UC (which would lower one campus's yield without leaving the system).

103
Higher than 99% of California high schools (1105 ranked, ≥50 seniors)
103 is exceptional and very rare. For every 100 seniors at Flintridge Preparatory School, the school is generating roughly 103 admissions to California's six most selective UCs (UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, UCD). The typical strong senior here is winning admission at multiple top campuses — a result fewer than 1% of California high schools achieve.
In Los Angeles County — a competitive market where the median is already 25 — this still clears the county top-10% bar (56).
This places Flintridge Preparatory School in the elite tier statewide — the top-1% threshold is 95.
Overall, Flintridge Preparatory School's UC Reach is higher than 99% of California high schools (1105 ranked).
Private-school figures come from the California Private School Affidavit. Per CDE, inclusion in private-school data is not an evaluation, approval, or endorsement of a school.
GPA figures reflect 2024 — UC has not yet released applicant/admit GPA for 2025.

UC Outcomes Trend — 2018–2025
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.
