Mission High School in San Francisco has achieved a remarkable UC Berkeley acceptance rate, surpassing other California schools. Despite its low academic performance ranking, the school's diverse student body with 91% non-white students has led to a high acceptance rate of 43% compared to the state average of 15%. This success is attributed to the University of California system's policy of admitting students from underperforming schools while rejecting many from high-performing schools.
