Summary:
The Da Vinci Design District in El Segundo, California, contains a single high school, Da Vinci Design, serving grades 9-12 with 536 students.
Da Vinci Design demonstrates a notable strength in student support and retention, achieving an exceptional 98.5% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, both far better than state averages, alongside a low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6%. This indicates a highly engaged student body and effective systems for keeping students on track to graduate. The school's performance in English Language Arts also exceeds the state average, which is a positive sign for core literacy skills.
However, the school faces clear academic challenges in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are significantly below state averages. This creates a contrast with its strong graduation outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, and while per-student spending is above average, the data suggests resources are effectively supporting student completion but may need re-evaluation to address specific subject-area weaknesses. For parents, this school represents an environment with strong support for graduation but one where math and science achievement requires close attention.
