SJUSD no longer ranks students – Per District Board Policy as of 9/4/18 – this information is no longer reported to Institutions of Higher Learning.
Regarding competitive elite universities or other private colleges/universities:
SJUSD recently voted, through Cabinet approval, to remove rank and class size from official SJUSD transcripts. Due to the innumerable variations that can occur in GPA calculations and the intense pressure put upon our students, we followed suit with many of the top districts in the country and made this move.
Students will be evaluated on individual merit without comparison to others.
* SJUSD is NO longer reporting rank and class size to institutions of higher learning.
Since rank is not released to colleges and universities, specific place order will not be used in admissions decisions.
As a rule, students are evaluated on individual merit. Specifically to the elite universities, decisions are made following a comprehensive review. Factors outside of the student’s control should be noted by the student in the application. During comprehensive review, allowances are made for these factors and decisions are reached by evaluating individual record, (grades, test scores, rigor of study and other extra/co-curricular activities).
