San Jacinto Leadership Academy

• ▸On UC Reach Score, San Jacinto Leadership Academy sits near the top of its similar-school group (ranked #2 of 10): 37 vs. a peer median of 12.
• ▸Across the top-6 UC campuses, San Jacinto Leadership Academy is admitting at roughly +21 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.963) alone would predict (45% actual vs. 24% 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 1% (76→75 from 2025 to 2026), trailing the peer-group median of +8%.
• ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Riverside County's senior population shrank 7% over the same window — San Jacinto Leadership Academy only shrank 1%. So San Jacinto Leadership 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.
• ▸Enrollment has been growing (+14.0%/yr); projects to ~1126 by 2029.
