California College-Going Rate

60% 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

60%

of 15 graduates

Give the same class four more months and 60% had enrolled — CDE publishes a 16-month window alongside the 12-month one, 9 students.

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.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25

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

75% of students who start the year here finish it here.

Critical

Compounding decline on both vectors.

Enrollment -88.9% vs. county +2.5% AND stability (75.0%) below the county median. Recruitment and retention both under pressure — likely a foundational rather than tactical problem. Chronic absenteeism is also at 84.6% (up -2.1 pts from 2017-18) — engagement and demand are both signaling decline.
