Skyline High School excels at sending students to U.C. colleges

""Judging schools by raw admission rates alone can be misleading. Schools that enroll larger shares of students from high-income families and fewer students with disabilities, for example, tend to send more students to UC campuses regardless of school quality.""

""Skyline ranked fifth in the number of admissions in its class of 2024, with 54 acceptances at U.C. schools - 29 more than expected.""

""More than 75% of its students were in this category [low-income families], indicating a significant achievement in college admissions for diverse populations.""

""Some of OUSD's smaller high schools, which weren't included in the Chronicle's analysis, also have higher rates of sending students to four-year universities.""

Skyline High School has achieved notable success in sending diverse and low-income students to college, ranking fifth among large public high schools in California for University of California admissions.
