- ▸Dominguez Senior High School's UC Reach Score has declined meaningfully from a peak of 32 in 2024 to 19 in 2025 — a 13-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 1% (427→424 from 2018 to 2026), outpacing the peer-group median of -13%.
- ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Los Angeles County's senior population shrank 5% over the same window — Dominguez Senior High School only shrank 1%. So Dominguez Senior High School picked up about 5 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 (-2.6%/yr), enrollment projects to ~1387 by 2029 — about 115 fewer students than today.
