Gladstone High School — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot

Public · Covina · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools

  • Across the top-6 UC campuses, Gladstone High School is admitting at roughly +26 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.9) alone would predict (46% 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.

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 2023 (latest GPA available).

Campus Applicant GPA (avg) Actual admit rate CA peer avg Δ Verdict
UCLA 3.89 11.5% 8.6% +3.0pp On target
UC San Diego 3.91 66.7% 21.7% +45.0pp Over
UC Santa Barbara 3.86 53.8% 23.2% +30.6pp Over
UC Davis 3.95 71.4% 33.0% +38.4pp Over
"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 Gladstone High School sits vs. all California schools

Overall, this school admits its UC applicants 26.4 points above what their GPAs predict (45.9% actual vs. 19.5% expected), based on 2023 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

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.
Senior class size is estimated from CDE grade 12 enrollment data. Reach percentages should be interpreted as approximate.
