- ▸On UC Reach, Crawford High School sits in the middle of its similar-school group (ranked #3 of 9): 21% vs. a peer median of 19%.
- ▸Crawford High School's UC Reach has declined meaningfully from a peak of 32% in 2023 to 21% in 2025 — a 11-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, Crawford High School is admitting at roughly +8 percentage points above what its average applicant GPA (3.743) alone would predict (28% actual vs. 19% 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 up 22% (280→343 from 2018 to 2026), outpacing the peer-group median of +16%.
- ▸Enrollment has been growing (+2.6%/yr); projects to ~1469 by 2029.
