No SBAC data for private schools — and that's not the metric you want anyway
California's Smarter Balanced (CAASPP) assessment is administered by the state, by statute, to public & charter schools only. Private schools don't sit for it. That's why the SBAC card is missing on this profile — not a data gap on our side, a deliberate scope of the state's testing program.
For private schools, UC Reach is the stronger academic signal anyway. SBAC measures grade-11 inputs (proficiency on a state standard); UC Reach measures outputs (who actually got into the most selective UCs). For private-school families weighing tuition against college outcomes, the outputs are the relevant signal.

- ▸On UC Reach, San Gabriel Academy sits near the bottom of its similar-school group (ranked #8 of 10): 29% vs. a peer median of 34%.
- ▸San Gabriel Academy's UC Reach has declined meaningfully from a peak of 40% in 2021 to 29% in 2025 — a 12-point drop that warrants attention. Multi-year UC Reach declines of this size often signal something specific (leadership change, comp-program shift, demographic move) rather than year-to-year noise. This is the kind of trajectory an Enrollment Trend Audit unpacks.
- ▸Senior-class enrollment is down 44% (62→35 from 2020 to 2025), trailing the peer-group median of +9%.
- ▸At its recent rate (-3.8%/yr), enrollment projects to ~285 by 2028 — about 35 fewer students than today.
Enrollment projection
That's about 35 fewer students. At a tuition of $ per student, that's roughly $0 in annual tuition revenue at risk.
