📊 What this number means

Latino College Prep Academy's UC Reach of 24.3% is above the California median (18.5%). The top 10% of CA schools achieve 53.3% or higher.

But in Santa Clara County, where the local median is 33.1% and the top-10% bar is 79.3%, this score is mid-pack rather than exceptional — typical of its market rather than a standout.

For context, the elite tier (top 1%) clears 102.7% — a gap of 78 pp from where this school sits.

Overall, Latino College Prep Academy's UC Reach is higher than 63% of California high schools (1105 ranked).

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

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.

Latino College Prep Academy — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot

Public · San Jose · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools

  • On UC Reach, Latino College Prep Academy sits near the top of its similar-school group (ranked #2 of 7): 24% vs. a peer median of 12%.
  • Its UC Reach has risen 8 points since 2018.
  • Across the top-6 UC campuses, Latino College Prep Academy is admitting at roughly +6 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.891) alone would predict (26% actual vs. 19% 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 8% (120→111 from 2018 to 2026), trailing the peer-group median of -5%.
  • At its recent rate (-0.1%/yr), enrollment projects to ~426 by 2029 — about 1 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?

Campus Applicant GPA (avg) Actual admit rate CA peer avg Δ Verdict
UC Berkeley 3.86 16.0% 11.6% +4.4pp On target
UCLA 3.91 18.2% 9.0% +9.2pp Over
UC San Diego 4.01 38.5% 19.7% +18.8pp 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 Latino College Prep Academy sits vs. all California schools

Overall, this school admits its UC applicants 6.3 points above what their GPAs predict (25.7% actual vs. 19.4% expected).

⚠ 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.
UC Reach has improved meaningfully compared to the prior year — a positive trajectory worth monitoring and reinforcing.
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.
