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.

Immaculate Conception Academy — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot

Private · Catholic · San Francisco · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools

  • On UC Reach Score, Immaculate Conception Academy sits in the middle of its similar-school group (ranked #3 of 10): 66 vs. a peer median of 25.
  • Its UC Reach Score has risen 39 points since 2020.
  • Across the top-6 UC campuses, Immaculate Conception Academy is admitting at roughly +7 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.802) alone would predict (31% actual vs. 24% expected). That's a meaningful signal — it can reflect UC's track record with this school's graduates, students presenting strongly in UC's holistic review (essays, EC's, context), or institutional familiarity helping at the margin. The data can't distinguish which, but the pattern itself is real and worth understanding.
  • Senior-class enrollment is down 31% (90→62 from 2020 to 2025), trailing the peer-group median of -10%.
  • At its recent rate (-8.1%/yr), enrollment projects to ~186 by 2028 — about 53 fewer students than today.

How we infer the tier labels: Each tier comes from the statewide CA admit rate at that GPA band at that UC. The "vs peers" column compares this school's lift (admit GPA − applicant GPA) to the average lift at ~100–300 other CA schools with similar applicant pool GPA. What this isn't: a guarantee. UC comprehensive review weighs essays, course rigor, demographics, and context-of-opportunity beyond GPA. A 3.9 with strong context can land an admit; a 4.0 with weak essays can be denied. Use as a baseline expectation, not a verdict. Per-campus year is shown when it differs from the headline year (UCOP doesn't always publish admit-GPA for every campus every year).

What This Means

A large share of the senior class applies to UC, indicating strong college-going culture and UC pipeline development.
A large share of the class applies to UC, so the admit rate runs lower than the application volume alone might suggest — expected when many students apply broadly, including to reach campuses. UC Reach (which credits every admit relative to the class) is the truer read of how the class fares: a strong Reach alongside a moderate admit rate is healthy, not a contradiction.
UC Reach is very strong — more than 66% of seniors are earning UC admission. This places the school among California's highest-performing high schools on this metric.
Students are earning UC admission but enrolling elsewhere at a notable rate. This may reflect competition from private colleges, out-of-state flagships, cost considerations, or UC campus fit. Student outcome surveys can clarify.
The school generates broad UC access, but fewer students are reaching the most selective UC campuses (UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, UCSB, UCI). Targeted academic enrichment and campus-fit advising may help.
Note: UC Reach sums campus-level admits across the top-six UC campuses, so a student admitted to both UCLA and UCSD is counted at each. It measures competitive admit volume relative to class size — admit-events, not distinct students — which is why it can exceed 100%.
