Every student deserves a high quality education that prepares them for college. In fact, 94% of students–regardless of race or income–see college in their future.

But in 2018-19, only 51% of all students who graduated from high school met the eligibility requirements to apply to a University of California or California State University. The gap between students’ dreams of college and the reality they face is even wider for low-income students of color.

The 2020 Top Public high schools are leading the way in ensuring that every high school graduate is able to reach their dreams of attending college. 93% of low-income Latino and African American students who attend Top Public high schools in the Bay Area are eligible for public universities in California vs. only 30% of low-income Latino and African American students at Non Top public schools.
