• ▸Arise High School's UC Reach Score has declined meaningfully from a peak of 47 in 2018 to 19 in 2025 — a 27-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.

That's a meaningful signal — it can reflect UC's track record with this school's graduates, students presenting strongly in UC's holistic review (essays, EC's, context), or institutional familiarity helping at the margin. The data can't distinguish which, but the pattern itself is real and worth understanding.
• ▸Senior-class enrollment is up 77% (60→106 from 2018 to 2026), outpacing the peer-group median of +1%.
• ▸Enrollment has been growing (+4.5%/yr); projects to ~468 by 2029.
