- ▸UCLA Community School's most recent UC Reach Score is 48 (top-6 UC admits per 100 seniors).
- ▸UCLA Community School's UC Reach Score has declined meaningfully from a peak of 100 in 2024 to 48 in 2025 — a 52-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, UCLA Community School is admitting at roughly +6 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.769) alone would predict (26% actual vs. 20% 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 7% (104→97 from 2024 to 2026).
- ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Los Angeles County's senior population shrank 12% over the same window — UCLA Community School only shrank 7%. So UCLA Community 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 (-4.1%/yr), enrollment projects to ~739 by 2029 — about 99 fewer students than today.
