California College-Going Rate

33.3% of the 2022-23 graduating class enrolled in college within a year.

The share of 2022-23 graduates who enrolled at a college anywhere in the U.S. within 12 months, per the National Student Clearinghouse match the California Department of Education publishes.

Within 12 months

33.3%

of 36 graduates

Give the same class four more months and 41.7% had enrolled — CDE publishes a 16-month window alongside the 12-month one, 15 students.

Down 5.9 points from the 2021-22 class (39.2%).

CDE puts each graduate in one bucket only — whichever kind of college they were enrolled in longest — so these add up to the rate above. That is a different count from the UC Reach Score on this page, which counts a student at every UC campus that admitted them.

CDE builds the rate by matching California high school completers to National Student Clearinghouse enrollment records; we publish CDE’s aggregates and hold no student-level data.

College readiness

Getting ready for college

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

A-G Completion ⓘ

Fewer than 1 in 10 graduates finish the courses UC and CSU require — below the state norm. Worth asking how course access and planning work here.

5 of 66 graduates · 2024-25 cohort

In context: CA median 55.9% · -48.3 pp vs. median · Monterey Co. 46.6%.

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 1 in 4 students read and write at grade level — below the state norm — worth asking what extra support looks like.

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: grades 9–12.

18% of students are chronically absent — near the state norm of about 23%.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25

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

44% of students who start the year finish it here — more churn than most CA schools. Ask what's behind the turnover.

Critical

Compounding decline on both vectors.

Enrollment -21.3% vs. county +10.4% AND stability (43.8%) below the county median. Recruitment and retention both under pressure — likely a foundational rather than tactical problem.
