The 80 students who applied to college from the graduating class of 2015 were accepted to 161 universities this year. Just as we encourage our students to pursue their passions at Athenian, we also encourage them to find the right fit in their choice of college. For as Eric wrote about in a blog post this year, “let the match and the desires of the individual student, not some ranking, drive that decision.”
100% of the Class of 2015* were accepted to a four-year college or university.
- 27% will stay in California (9% will attend a UC)
- 73% will go out-of-state
- 60% will attend a private university
- 40% will attend a public university or college
