Some high schools send almost all graduates to a two- or four-year college; others barely send half their students. This database lets you see the number of high school graduates at each school between 2003 and 2007, and how many of those graduates wound up at public or private colleges in California. On average, 22 percent of grads go to a four-year-college, while 54 percent go to either a two- or four-year school.

Important Note: Sierra College did not report data for 2006; Placer and Nevada County high school community college figures have been adjusted to rectify that fact. In short, the community college counts shown for those two counties is low but the percentage of graduates attending community college are adjusted and correct.
Other notes: Figures are for freshman 19 and younger at California colleges. Some high schools, particularly in wealthier areas, send a significant portion of students to colleges outside of California. Be careful with new high schools: Sometimes colleges don't log graduates coming from there until they've been open a year or two. Those students don't show up in this data. Only high schools that graduated at least 650 students between 2003 and 2007 are included.
