- ▸On UC Reach, Dominguez High sits in the middle of its similar-school group (ranked #4 of 9): 19% vs. a peer median of 16%.
- ▸Dominguez High's UC Reach has declined meaningfully from a peak of 32% in 2024 to 19% in 2025 — a 13-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 1% (427→424 from 2018 to 2026), outpacing the peer-group median of -13%.
- ▸In business terms, this is market-share growth during a market contraction. Los Angeles County's senior population shrank 8% over the same window — Dominguez High only shrank 1%. So Dominguez High picked up about 8 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 (-2.4%/yr), enrollment projects to ~1397 by 2029 — about 105 fewer students than today.
