📊 What this number means

De LA Salle High School's UC Reach of 23.0% is above the California median (18.5%). The top 10% of CA schools achieve 53.3% or higher.

But in Contra Costa County, where the local median is 25.6% and the top-10% bar is 58.5%, this score is mid-pack rather than exceptional — typical of its market rather than a standout.

Against similar schools, De LA Salle High School trails the peer-group median (56.1%) — even though it looks strong vs. the state average.

For context, the elite tier (top 1%) clears 102.7% — a gap of 80 pp from where this school sits.

Yield vs. Enrollment Reach: Yield answers "of UC admits, what % chose UC?" — denominator is just the admits. A small admitted cohort can post a low yield even when the school sends a healthy share of its class to UC.
UC Enrollment Reach
6.0%
15 enrollees / 252 seniors
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.

De LA Salle High School — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot

Private · Catholic · Concord · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools

  • On UC Reach, De LA Salle High School sits near the bottom of its similar-school group (ranked #10 of 11): 23% vs. a peer median of 56%.
  • Its UC Reach has slipped 2 points since 2020 — worth watching.
  • Across the top-6 UC campuses, De LA Salle High School is admitting at roughly -6 percentage points below what its average applicant GPA (3.779) alone would predict (15% actual vs. 22% expected). That's worth understanding — it can reflect grade inflation that UC sees through, weaker holistic-review materials at the margin, or applicants concentrating at more selective campuses than typical. Not a verdict; a signal.
  • Senior-class enrollment is up 6% (237→252 from 2020 to 2025), trailing the peer-group median of +12%.
  • At its recent rate (-0.1%/yr), enrollment projects to ~1021 by 2028 — about 4 fewer students than today.

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? Based on 2024 (latest GPA available).

Campus Applicant GPA (avg) Actual admit rate CA peer avg Δ Verdict
UC Berkeley 3.78 12.9% 12.2% +0.7pp 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 De LA Salle High School sits vs. all California schools

Overall, this school admits its UC applicants 6.2 points below what their GPAs predict (15.4% actual vs. 21.7% expected), based on 2024 data.

⚠ Campus-level totals may count one student admitted to multiple UC campuses more than once. Admit Volume metrics are not the same as UC Reach, which requires unique-student counts. See methodology →

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.
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.
