Summary:
The Ingenuity Charter District in San Diego contains a single school, Ingenuity Charter, which serves a small community of 188 students in grades 6 through 12.
This school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates well below state averages, particularly in mathematics where only about 6% of students are proficient. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, affecting nearly 70% of students, which is more than three times the state average and likely contributes to the academic difficulties. The school's graduation rate is 62.5% and its dropout rate is 13.5%, indicating struggles with student retention and completion.
Despite these challenges, the school serves a high-needs population, with over 86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its state ranking has shown some fluctuation but not a steady decline, suggesting persistent rather than worsening issues. For parents, this indicates a school environment where significant support systems are needed, particularly around attendance and mathematics instruction, to help students succeed.
