Community College Data

 

This section includes SAT scores by high school and other charts that will give you a rounded picture of the quality of local schools and California education.

As with almost all school data, caution must be used with these numbers. Regarding the SAT, some schools (and states) encourage many students to take the SAT; other may not push the test. A school or state that is scoring low to middling but showing high on participation may be doing better than a school that scores high but has few test takers.

High schools are frequently judged on their success in advancing students to universities. We include this data by high school and also provide the numbers on students moving up to a University of California (UC). The UCs accept the top 13 percent of California seniors.

These charts are valid measures of the local schools but keep in mind that for a variety of reasons, some financial, many students who advance to a UC or a Cal State take their freshman and sophomore years at a community college.

The SAT scores by state include public and private schools. The other SAT charts in this chapter are for public schools only. For college advancement numbers for private schools, see Private Schools .
