Enrollment Reach vs. Yield: Reach answers "of the whole senior class, what % ended up at UC?" — denominator is everyone. High Yield with low Enrollment Reach is common at elite privates: most admits matriculate, but the school sends most of its class to non-UC selective colleges.

Alain Leroy Locke College Prep — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot

Public · Los Angeles · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools

  • On UC Reach, Alain Leroy Locke College Prep sits near the bottom of its similar-school group (ranked #6 of 7): 15% vs. a peer median of 20%.
  • Its UC Reach has risen 11 points since 2018.
  • Across the top-6 UC campuses, Alain Leroy Locke College Prep is admitting at roughly +13 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.775) alone would predict (33% actual vs. 20% expected). That's a meaningful signal — it can reflect UC's track record with this school's graduates, students presenting strongly in UC's holistic review (essays, EC's, context), or institutional familiarity helping at the margin. The data can't distinguish which, but the pattern itself is real and worth understanding.
  • Senior-class enrollment is down 30% (359→251 from 2018 to 2026), trailing the peer-group median of +23%.

Admit rate vs. CA peer average, by campus

How does this school's admit rate at each UC compare to other CA schools whose applicant pool averages the same GPA?

Campus Applicant GPA (avg) Actual admit rate CA peer avg Δ Verdict
UCLA 3.75 11.1% 9.1% +2.0pp On target
UC San Diego 3.74 55.2% 26.8% +28.4pp Over
UC Santa Barbara 3.86 51.7% 27.4% +24.3pp Over
UC Irvine 3.76 21.6% 19.0% +2.6pp On target
"Applicant GPA" is the average GPA of this school's UC applicant pool — not an individual student GPA. "CA peer avg" is the application-weighted statewide admit rate at this school-pool GPA, fit separately per campus. At any given pool GPA, real admit rates span widely (UCSD ranges 8% → 65% across CA schools) because UCs use comprehensive review — context-of-opportunity, geography, demographics, and applicant essays all weigh in beyond GPA. A large negative residual flags this school is admitted at a meaningfully lower rate than other CA schools at the same pool GPA — not that students here were "rejected at expected rate X." "Over" / "Under" use a ±5-point band. Campuses with fewer than 5 applicants are omitted.

Where Alain Leroy Locke College Prep sits vs. all California schools

Overall, this school admits its UC applicants 12.9 points above what their GPAs predict (32.8% actual vs. 19.9% expected).

What This Means

A large share of the senior class applies to UC, indicating strong college-going culture and UC pipeline development.
A large share of the class applies to UC, so the admit rate runs lower than the application volume alone might suggest — expected when many students apply broadly, including to reach campuses. UC Reach (which credits every admit relative to the class) is the truer read of how the class fares: a strong Reach alongside a moderate admit rate is healthy, not a contradiction.
Fewer than 15% of seniors are earning UC admission. This may reflect a high non-UC college-going rate, significant A-G completion gaps, or an early-stage UC pipeline. A deeper review of A-G readiness and counseling capacity is warranted.
Students are earning UC admission but enrolling elsewhere at a notable rate. This may reflect competition from private colleges, out-of-state flagships, cost considerations, or UC campus fit. Student outcome surveys can clarify.
Note: admit counts used here are campus-level totals. A student admitted to both UCLA and UCSD is counted twice. When UCOP unique-student data becomes available it will be loaded automatically and the labels will update.
