“We are fortunate to have such a healthy school, and it is because of our strength that we are in a position to move ahead.”
This transition has also confirmed perceptions that I had about CSB prior to my arrival. Namely, our school is in great shape. While we know this intuitively, there are a number of markers that demonstrate this more objectively. These include:
1 2 3 4
Admission • Inquiries and applications are up 10% from last year.
• Our application pool includes families from 35 preschools and over 50 ZIP codes. • Last year, 100% of the boys accepted in first through eighth grades enrolled at CSB.
Retention & Enrollment • Over the last decade, we have retained, on average, 97% of our students (compared to 91% among independent schools nationally and 92% among California independent schools). • Almost 40% of our students are students of color (compared to 28% nationally).
Finances & Fundraising • Our endowment is approaching $15 million. • We maintain one of the largest endowment-per-student ratios among our Bay Area peers. • Our recent six-month campaign raised over $3 million. • Last year, 99% of our parents and 100% of our staff contributed to the Cathedral School Fund. • The Cathedral School Fund has just eclipsed the $1 million mark for the first time in school history. Program • Last year, 80% of the eighth-grade class scored in the top 50% on the SSAT and 53% scored in the top 25% on the SSAT. • All of our students study art, drama, and music. • Roughly 95% of our Upper School students participate in a sport at CSB.
We are fortunate to have such a healthy school, and it is because of our strength that we are in a position to move ahead.
