High Schools in Futures High District

Futures High District in Sacramento, California, contains a single high school, Futures High, serving about 469 students in grades 9 through 12.

This school shows a positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking from the 30th to the 46th percentile over the last three years, and it excels in student attendance with a chronic absenteeism rate better than the California average. However, parents should note significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where student proficiency is more than 15 points below the state average. The graduation rate, while improving, also remains below the state level, and the dropout rate is a key area of concern that the school needs to address.

With nearly 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Futures High serves a community with high economic need. The school's per-student spending and class size are comparable to state averages, suggesting the focus for improvement may be on how effectively resources are used for targeted academic support, especially in core subjects, rather than on simply increasing funding.
