Summary:
This analysis covers the single high school, SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy - SCUSD, serving grades 7-12 in the SAVA - Sacramento Academy and Vocational Academy - SCUSD Di district, which faces significant academic and graduation challenges.
The school's academic performance is critically low, with only 2.08% of students proficient in math and 18.6% in English, far below state averages. Its graduation rate of 55.3% is also much lower than the state average, while the dropout rate is nearly triple. Despite these outcomes, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.7 to 1 is relatively favorable, and per-student spending is substantial at $18,762, indicating resources are present but may not be effectively addressing core challenges.
Key areas for improvement include mathematics, where proficiency is near zero in some grades, and chronic absenteeism, which affects nearly a quarter of students. The school has shown a slight recent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the 15th to the 19th percentile, suggesting some positive momentum. For families, this indicates a school environment with significant support needs, where student engagement and targeted academic interventions are crucial for success.
