What is the Sierra Canyon School acceptance rate?

Sierra Canyon School is highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 6%. This makes it one of the most competitive private schools in California. The admissions process is rigorous, focusing on academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and other factors such as recommendations, standardized testing, assessments, and interviews. Additionally, Sierra Canyon considers familial affiliations such as siblings, alumni connections, and children of facultys and are given preference if they meet all admissions requirements. However, the school has a policy stating that non-affiliated families must make up at least 40% of newly accepted students each year.  

This selective process reflects the school’s commitment to fostering a community of talented and motivated students while ensuring diversity. Families are encouraged to apply early, especially to entry grade levels, Pre-K and 6th grade, to increase their chances of admission.
