Summary:
The SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy District consists of a single, small public school, SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy, which serves grades 7 through 12 with an enrollment of 234 students and a strong focus on blending academic and career-technical education.
This school serves a community with significant economic need, and its academic performance, particularly in mathematics, is well below state averages, with an overall graduation rate of 41.4% and a dropout rate of 17.1%. However, the data shows a clear pattern of improvement as students progress; for instance, 11th graders perform notably better than 8th graders across all subjects, and the school's statewide ranking has steadily risen over the past three years. It also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13-to-1.
Key challenges for the school include addressing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average, and strengthening foundational math instruction, especially for younger students. The improving trajectory suggests the school's model may be having a positive impact for students who persist, but supporting more students to reach graduation remains a critical area for focus.
