SFUSD Graduates Outperform Local Private Schools on UC Admissions
SFUSD grads get into the UC system at higher rates than private school graduates.
Why this comes up

What it means for SFUSD
SFUSD outperforms its private school counterparts by roughly 15 percentage points on UC acceptance. This is one of the most underreported facts about public school quality in San Francisco.
