Summary:
The Da Vinci RISE High District in El Segundo, California, consists of a single high school, Da Vinci RISE High, serving grades 9-12 with 167 students.
This school faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistent one-star state rating and placement in the bottom 19th percentile of all California high schools. Academic proficiency rates are critically low, with only 12.16% of students proficient in English and a stark 2.56% proficient in mathematics, far below state averages. Furthermore, the school's 43.1% graduation rate is less than half the state average, and it contends with a chronic absenteeism rate of 67.7%, which severely impacts student learning.
Despite these outcomes, the school's context includes a student population where nearly 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and it operates with a higher-than-average per-student funding level of $23,094. The severe disconnect between these resources and student results, coupled with a high student-teacher ratio of 31.8 to 1, indicates a need for urgent and targeted interventions in attendance support, instructional strategies, and resource allocation to better serve its students.
