College Going/College Eligibility CA GEAR UP Data

The following figures show GEAR UP schools’ academic outcomes and college going and eligibility rates (e.g., A-G course requirements, FAFSA submission and completion, high school graduation, and college application, admission, and enrollment) from the 2017-18 academic year through the 2022-23 academic year. It is important to note that these figures include rates observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on students nationwide, including those in GEAR UP schools. Although academic outcomes and college going and eligibility rates declined for some indicators during the years impacted by COVID-19, this pattern was observed in many schools across the state of California and is not unique to GEAR UP schools.
