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

UC admissions are the ultimate outcome metric for many Bay Area families. This flips the assumption that private schools produce better-prepared college applicants — on the most concrete measure available.

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.
