San Francisco public high schoolers are more likely than their peers in any other county to have completed the required courses to get into a four-year California public university, a Chronicle analysis found.  Almost three-quarters of San Francisco high school graduates in the 2023-24 school year completed the set of 15 high school courses that students must take—and pass 
—in order to be considered for admission to universities in the California State University or University of California systems. Statewide, around half of students did so. The courses, known as the A-G courses, encompass seven subject areas like math, science, English and history. For each subject, a certain number of years are required: three years of math, two years of history and four years of English, for example. Each high school’s A-G course offerings are approved by the UC and CSU systems, and schools can apply to have their courses approved. Last year, the Chronicle found that A-G completion rates were not correlated with UC admissions rates, but they were strongly correlated with UC application rates. Data for the latest UC admissions cycle — which includes seniors in the 2023-24 school year — was not yet available this year.
