Summary:
The e3 Civic High District in downtown San Diego contains a single urban high school, e3 Civic High, serving 360 students in grades 9 through 12.
This school presents a notable contrast between student outcomes and academic performance. On one hand, it excels at graduating its students, with a 94.7% graduation rate that is well above the state average, and maintains a low dropout rate. On the other hand, its proficiency rates on state standardized tests in English, math, and science are generally below state averages, with mathematics performance being a particular area of concern. The school's statewide ranking has also shown significant year-to-year volatility, dropping sharply in the most recent year.
Despite spending over $21,000 per student, which is higher than typical California schools, these resources have not yet translated to above-average test scores. The school serves a population with high economic need, and chronic absenteeism is slightly above the state average. For parents, this suggests a school environment that is very successful at supporting students to complete their diplomas but is still working to improve mastery of core academic standards as measured by state tests.
