Summary:
The Sacramento Charter High District contains a single high school, Sacramento Charter High, serving 413 students in grades 9-12 with a high level of economic need, as over 75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
This school presents a complex academic profile with notable strengths and a significant challenge. In English Language Arts, students at Sacramento Charter High perform above the state average, which is a commendable achievement given the student population's socioeconomic background. The school also maintains a solid graduation rate and a dropout rate well below the state average. However, the school faces a severe difficulty in mathematics, where student proficiency is dramatically lower than state averages, indicating a critical area needing focused support and resources.
Despite having a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, the school succeeds in keeping students on track to graduate. It operates with per-student spending significantly above typical levels for California, which raises questions about how effectively these substantial resources are being deployed to address the acute needs in math instruction and student attendance. For parents, this school shows a strong capacity in language arts and student support but requires a clear plan for improving mathematics outcomes.
