The 10 best private high schools in the San Francisco Bay Area
Niche, an education review site that's kind of like Yelp for schools, based its ranking on a combination of user reviews and education statistics sourced from government and public databases.
Founded in 1960, the College Preparatory School in Oakland funnels an estimated 29% of graduates into Stanford University, MIT, or Ivy League members, according to a 2010 ranking from Forbes. The magazine named College Prep the 17th best private high school in America.
Tuition costs $40,310 a year, up nearly 30% from the 2010 - 2011 academic year.
Only two schools located in San Francisco cracked Niche's top 10 list: Lick-Wilmerding High School and San Francisco University High School.
