Definition: Percentage of high school diploma earners among the graduating class completing all courses required for University of California or California State University admission with a grade of C or better (e.g., in 2019, 50.5% of high school graduates from the graduating class in California completed college preparatory courses).
Data Source: California Dept. of Education, Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate and Outcome Data (Jun. 2020).
Footnote: Years presented are the final year of a school year (e.g., 2018-19 is shown as 2019). The graduating class, or four-year adjusted cohort, is composed of students entering Grade 9 for the first time, adjusted for students who subsequently transfer in, transfer out, or pass away during Grade 9 or the following three years. The notation S refers to percentages that have been suppressed because fewer than 20 high school graduates completed college preparatory courses. N/A means that data are not available.
