Summary:
The School of Arts and Enterprise District has one listed school, serving grades 6–12, with 647 students. That means parents are comparing this school’s results with California figures, not choosing among schools within the district. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades ELA proficiency was essentially level with the state (49.4% versus 49.3%), and science was just below (35.5% versus 36.0%). Math is the clearest concern: 11% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 27-point shortfall.
There is no within-district top or bottom school; the strongest results are in grade 11, while math is weakest across the reported grades. Grade 11 science proficiency was 46%, 8 points above the state, and grade 11 ELA was 61%, 3 points above. By contrast, math proficiency trailed the state in every reported grade: the gaps were 31 points in grade 7, 28 points in grade 8, and 16 points even in grade 11. Grade 8 science was 7 points below the state. The subject picture is uneven: ELA overall is near state level, science is close, and math is substantially behind. Graduation was 89%, slightly above the state’s 88%, but chronic absenteeism was higher at 29% versus 18%, as was dropout at 11% versus 8%.
Results changed in mixed ways from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: all-grades math proficiency fell 7 points, ELA fell 1 point, and science rose 4 points. The math gap with the state widened by 8 points, while the science gap narrowed by less than a point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 66 to 69, then fell to 61; its latest listing gives the school 3 stars and a rank of 827 out of 2,137 schools. Context figures include a 12.3 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and, that same year, 69% free/reduced lunch eligible. These measures describe the school but do not explain its results.
