UC Application Reach ⓘ

540.0%

216 applications

Exceptionally ambitious student body. The typical senior is applying to about 5 of the 6 most selective UCs — a culture of pursuing every major UC option.

In context: CA median 78.3% · Top 10% statewide ≥ 245.8% · Santa Clara Co. Top 10% ≥ 359.1% · higher than 99% of CA HS.

UC Yield Rate ⓘ

42.9%

15 enrolled of 35 admitted

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 ⓘ

37.5%

15 enrollees / 40 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.

Oakwood School — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot

Private · secular · Morgan Hill · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools

▸On UC Reach, Oakwood School sits near the top of its similar-school group (ranked #2 of 9): 88% vs. a peer median of 39%.
▸Its UC Reach has slipped 47 points since 2020 — worth watching.
▸Across the top-6 UC campuses, Oakwood School is admitting at roughly +10 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (4.115) alone would predict (38% actual vs. 28% 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 up 25% (32→40 from 2020 to 2025), outpacing the peer-group median of -3%.
▸Enrollment has been growing (+4.5%/yr); projects to ~623 by 2028.

UC Reach = top-6 UC admits ÷ senior class (can exceed 100% when students are admitted to multiple campuses). Enrollment trend = first-to-latest grade-12 change on file. Similar schools matched on proximity, size, type, and religious orientation. Methodology →

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 San Diego	4.11	29.4%	17.0%	+12.4pp	Over
UC Santa Barbara	4.08	50.0%	35.4%	+14.6pp	Over
UC Davis	4.17	33.3%	34.8%	-1.5pp	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 Oakwood School sits vs. all California schools ⓘ

Overall, this school admits its UC applicants 9.5 points above what their GPAs predict (37.8% actual vs. 28.3% 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.

UC Reach is very strong — more than 88% of seniors are earning UC admission. This places the school among California's highest-performing high schools on this metric.

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.

Berkeley and UCLA admit volume is strong — a clear high-end signal for this school's academic preparation.

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.
