We published the Bay Area's top 10 for UC admits last week. It travelled further than anything we've posted. And nearly every comment underneath it asked the same question in slightly different words.

Where's my school?

That is a fair question, and it has an answer. Here are spots 11 through 20 for Fall 2025.

11. Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, San Francisco — 70

12. Mission San Jose High School, Fremont — 70

13. Palo Alto High School, Palo Alto — 70

14. Design Tech High School, Redwood City — 70

15. American High School, Fremont — 68

16. Berkeley High School, Berkeley — 67

17. Summit Public School: Shasta, Daly City — 67

18. Archbishop Mitty High School, San Jose — 65

19. The Nueva School, San Mateo — 65

20. The King's Academy, Sunnyvale — 65

Look at the top four for a second, because they say something a ranked list is bad at saying.

Ruth Asawa scored 70.2. Mission San Jose 70.1. Palo Alto 69.9. Design Tech 69.6. Four schools, six tenths of a point between the first and the last. Printed as ranks, that reads like four different results. It isn't. Those four schools produced the same outcome, and which one lands at 11 and which at 14 is decided by rounding.

That's worth saying out loud because of how families use lists like this. A parent sees 14th and hears "worse than 11th." The data doesn't support the sentence.

The other thing worth pulling out is Palo Alto.

Palo Alto High School sent 296 of its graduates admits to the six most selective UC campuses in 2024. In 2025 that number was 346 — from a senior class that got smaller, not bigger. That is not a school that just missed the top 10. That is a school climbing into it, and next year's table will probably show it.

The UC Reach Score is admits to Berkeley, UCLA, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Irvine and Davis, per 100 seniors, from Fall 2025 UC data. A student admitted to three of those campuses counts three times.

And as always: this measures one outcome. Berkeley High is on this list with a senior class of 799, which is a different problem from producing the same rate with 108 students at Nueva. Both are real. Neither number tells you what it's like to be a student there.

We're publishing all 58 California counties. Orange County went up this week. If yours hasn't come up yet, it will.

Every school on this list has its own page with the eight-year trend, the campus-by-campus breakdown and the state testing data. Start with your own.
