- Almost all graduates leave eligible for UC and CSU. 100% finish the A-G courses California's universities require before a student can even apply — most California schools manage about about half.
- Worth asking about: attendance. 57% of students are chronically absent — above the state's ~24%. Ask what the school is doing about engagement; absenteeism is usually the earliest warning light.

California College-Going Rate
27.3% 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.
Give the same class four more months and 45.5% had enrolled — CDE publishes a 16-month window alongside the 12-month one, 5 students.
Down 2.1 points from the 2021-22 class (29.4%).
Where the 2022-23 class enrolled
In California — 3 students (27.3%)
Out of state — 0 students (0.0%)
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 Los Angeles College Prep Academy has a UC admissions record.
SBAC academic outcomes — grade 11, 2024
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.
Source: California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Smarter Balanced research files. Benchmarks limited to non-virtual public & charter HS with ≥30 tested students.
Student composition — 2023-24
HS grades 9–12 racial/ethnic composition and program subgroups, from CDE Census Day Enrollment.
Race / ethnicity
Program subgroups
Source: California Department of Education, Census Day Enrollment 2023-24 (HS grades 9–12). Δ shown when shift is ≥1 pt since 2023-24. Categories below 0.5% omitted.
Chronic absenteeism — 2023-24
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.
Absenteeism is up 18.6 pp since 2020-21. A rising absenteeism trend often precedes formal departure — worth investigating which subgroups are driving it.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2023-24
Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the Los Angeles County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.
Enrollment -78.0% vs. county +3.6% AND stability (72.0%) below the county median. Recruitment and retention both under pressure — likely a foundational rather than tactical problem. Chronic absenteeism is also at 57.1% (up +18.6 pts from 2020-21) — engagement and demand are both signaling decline.
14 of 50 students who enrolled at Los Angeles College Prep Academy this year didn't maintain continuous enrollment (28.0% non-stability). Mid-year transfers, dropouts, and other exits are all counted.
Stability by student group
Nearest peer high schools
Source: California Department of Education, Stability Rate 2023-24. Benchmarks limited to non-virtual public & charter HS with ≥100 cumulative enrollees so by-design-high-churn continuation schools don't dominate the bottom of the distribution. Cumulative enrollment counts every student on the rolls during the year, so it can exceed peak-day enrollment.
