Canyon Crest Academy

• ▸On UC Reach, Canyon Crest Academy sits near the top of its similar-school group (ranked #1 of 11): 93% vs. a peer median of 40%.
• ▸Canyon Crest Academy's UC Reach has declined meaningfully from a peak of 109% in 2019 to 93% in 2025 — a 16-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% (601→572 from 2018 to 2026), trailing the peer-group median of +1%.
• ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. San Diego County's senior population shrank 8% over the same window — Canyon Crest Academy only shrank 5%. So Canyon Crest Academy picked up about 3 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 (-3.3%/yr), enrollment projects to ~1790 by 2029 — about 187 fewer students than today.
