• ▸Milpitas High School's UC Reach Score has declined meaningfully from a peak of 39 in 2024 to 29 in 2025 — a 10-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.
• ▸Across the top-6 UC campuses, Milpitas High School is admitting at roughly -6 percentage points below what its average applicant GPA (3.874) alone would predict (15% actual vs. 21% expected).

Not a verdict; a signal.
• ▸Senior-class enrollment is down 8% (814→746 from 2018 to 2026), outpacing the peer-group median of -12%.
• ▸At its recent rate (-1.4%/yr), enrollment projects to ~2772 by 2029 — about 123 fewer students than today.
