"Cupertino's De Anza College in Cupertino has been named a Pathway Champion for 2025 for its efforts in ensuring that students are on the path to transfer to a four-year university. The Campaign for College Opportunity, a statewide research and advocacy group, awarded De Anza top rankings among California community colleges for student success in completing transfer-level math and English in academic year 2023-24. De Anza ranked third in the state for students completing transfer-level math (78.8%) within one year."
"The community college also ranked second in the state for Black students completing transfer-level English within one year of enrolling in their courses (82.6%). De Anza earned similar recognition from the group in 2024, when it ranked second statewide in two categories for the 2022-23 academic year: students completing transfer-level math within one year (81.4%) and students completing transfer-level English within one year (81.2%). The nonprofit compiles the rankings to recognize community colleges that are helping students reach their goals through equitable course placement practices, following the passage of state legislation in 2018 requiring community colleges to move away from traditional placement methods that led many students to spend time in remedial courses before they could take transfer-level math and English."
De Anza College was named a Pathway Champion for 2025 for ensuring students are positioned to transfer to four-year universities.

De Anza received similar recognition for 2022-23 results. Following 2018 state legislation changing placement policies, De Anza implemented new assessment practices, curriculum, and student services to support completion of college-level courses.
