• ▸University Prep Academy's UC Reach Score has declined meaningfully from a peak of 77 in 2024 to 47 in 2025 — a 30-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.

Not a verdict; a signal.
