- ▸Westchester Enriched Science Magnet's most recent UC Reach Score is 29 (top-6 UC admits per 100 seniors).
- ▸Its UC Reach Score has risen 12 points since 2024.
- ▸Across the top-6 UC campuses, Westchester Enriched Science Magnet is admitting at roughly +9 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.72) alone would predict (29% 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 8% (158→146 from 2024 to 2026).

Los Angeles County's senior population shrank 12% over the same window — Westchester Enriched Science Magnet only shrank 8%. So Westchester Enriched Science Magnet picked up about 4 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.
