- ▸Summit Public School K2's UC Reach Score has declined meaningfully from a peak of 39 in 2023 to 5 in 2025 — a 34-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 5% (83→79 from 2020 to 2026), tracking the peer-group median of -5%.
- ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Contra Costa County's senior population shrank 9% over the same window — Summit Public School K2 only shrank 5%. So Summit Public School K2 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.
- ▸Enrollment has been growing (+3.0%/yr); projects to ~589 by 2029.
