- ▸On UC Reach, Renaissance Arts Academy sits near the top of its similar-school group (ranked #1 of 7): 82% vs. a peer median of 21%.
- ▸Renaissance Arts Academy's UC Reach has stepped down from a peak of 88% in 2023 to 82% in 2025 — a 6-point decline worth tracking.
- ▸Across the top-6 UC campuses, Renaissance Arts Academy is admitting at roughly +15 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.92) alone would predict (33% actual vs. 18% expected). 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 down 3% (37→36 from 2018 to 2026), trailing the peer-group median of +40%.
- ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Los Angeles County's senior population shrank 8% over the same window — Renaissance Arts Academy only shrank 3%. So Renaissance Arts Academy picked up about 6 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 (-1.6%/yr), enrollment projects to ~443 by 2029 — about 23 fewer students than today.
