Academic Leadership Community

• ▸On UC Reach Score, Academic Leadership Community sits in the middle of its similar-school group (ranked #7 of 11): 16 vs. a peer median of 25.
• ▸Academic Leadership Community's UC Reach Score has declined meaningfully from a peak of 28 in 2024 to 16 in 2025 — a 12-point drop that warrants attention. Multi-year UC Reach declines of this size often signal something specific (leadership change, comp-program shift, demographic move) rather than year-to-year noise. This is the kind of trajectory an Enrollment Trend Audit unpacks.
• ▸Senior-class enrollment is down 8% (110→101 from 2024 to 2026), trailing the peer-group median of +9%.
• ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Los Angeles County's senior population shrank 12% over the same window — Academic Leadership Community only shrank 8%. So Academic Leadership Community picked up about 4 percentage points of relative share — families chose it over the alternatives even as the overall pool got smaller. That's overperforming the market in a shrinking market.
• ▸At its recent rate (-10.7%/yr), enrollment projects to ~258 by 2029 — about 104 fewer students than today.
