Summary

El Camino Fundamental High is a public high school serving about 1,226 students in grades 9-12 within the San Juan Unified district in Sacramento, California.

The school has a remarkable strength in ensuring students graduate, with a 97.4% graduation rate that is the highest among nearby schools like Rio Americano High (95.2%) and Mira Loma High (87.3%). It also does a good job keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate lower than several comparable schools. In English Language Arts, student proficiency is solid and above both district and state averages.

However, a significant area for improvement is mathematics, where proficiency is notably lower than at neighboring schools and well below state averages. The school's performance varies for different student groups, showing particular strength in supporting some while facing clear challenges with others, such as English Language Learners. Despite this academic gap in math, El Camino's exceptionally high graduation rate suggests it has strong systems to support student progress and engagement overall.
