Fremont public vs private bay area high schools

• Harker and Basis cross the 15% mark when it comes to admission rates to Berkeley
• Fremont's top 2 public high schools(Mission San Jose and Irvington) have higher 5 year average admission rates to Berkeley compared to all the other private schools listed in this study except Harker and Basis Independent
• Mission San Jose and Irvington high cross the coveted ~50 kids per year to Berkeley mark
• Based on percentage of class size, the top 5 are Basis Independent, Harker, Mission San Jose, Irvington and Nueva. This is the right metric as it normalizes by class size as the public schools have much larger batch size compared to Harker and Basis
• Harker tuition fees is 50k per year while the Fremont public schools are free. The percentage admissions show that private schools dont have lot of additional delta edge compared to the top public schools
• Bellarmine, Mitty and Valley Christian severely underperform in college admissions compared to their other top public and private peers
