California College-Going Rate

26.2% 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

26.2%

of 130 graduates

Give the same class four more months and 28.5% had enrolled — CDE publishes a 16-month window alongside the 12-month one, 37 students.

Up 6.1 points from the 2021-22 class (20.1%).

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.

Federal Title I context

High-poverty school

Title I Schoolwide eligible

89.7%

FRPL rate — % of students who qualify for the federal Free or Reduced-Price Lunch program. This is the underlying federal income-eligibility signal Title I designations are computed from (ESEA Sec. 1113).

0% (no FRPL) 35% TA · 40% Schoolwide 100% (universal FRPL)

≥75% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. These schools qualify for the highest tier of federal Title I funding and typically receive extra wraparound services. Academic outcomes vary widely — check the state assessment + grad-rate tiles.

Source: NCES Common Core of Data, free/reduced-price lunch eligibility. The actual Title I designation is a district decision and may differ from eligibility — but the federal eligibility math is what we show here. We don't claim to assert whether the district formally chose to enroll this school in Title I.

College readiness

Getting ready for college

These come from the state and federal files, not from UC — so they are here whether or not Olympic Continuation High has a UC admissions record.

Student-Counselor Ratio ⓘ

Counseling here is unusually well-staffed — about 138 students per counselor, near what experts recommend.

138:1

1.6 FTE counselors · 221 students

In context: CA median 337:1 · 199 fewer students per counselor · ASCA target 250:1.

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.

1 of 118 graduates · 2024-25 cohort

In context: CA median 55.9% · -55.1 pp vs. median · Contra Costa Co. 63.6%.

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

Fewer than 1 in 10 students do math 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.

86% of students miss 10%+ of school days — above the state's ~23%. Ask what the school is doing about engagement.

Roughly one in three students is chronically absent. A floor this high signals systemic engagement problems beyond what any single intervention can fix.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25

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

36% of students who start the year finish it here — more churn than most CA schools. Ask what's behind the turnover.

Critical

Bleeding from both ends.

Enrollment down 6.6% vs. county -1.5%, AND stability (36.1%) below the county median. Fewer families are choosing the school, and the ones who do aren't staying through year-end. Chronic absenteeism is also at 86.5% (up -2.3 pts from 2016-17) — engagement and demand are both signaling decline.
