Summary:
The Da Vinci Science District in El Segundo, California, contains one high school, Da Vinci Science, serving grades 9-12 with a focus on rigorous STEM education.
Da Vinci Science stands out as a consistently high-performing institution, with recent test scores significantly above state averages in English, math, and science. The school excels in student support, boasting a near-perfect 99.3% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, far better than state figures, alongside lower-than-average chronic absenteeism. This indicates a strong, engaging school culture that successfully keeps students on track to graduate.
While maintaining elite status, the school's statewide ranking percentile has slightly declined over the past three years. A notable finding is the disparity in subject performance; students show exceptional strength in English Language Arts but have more room to grow in math and science proficiency compared to their own high ELA standard. The school achieves these excellent outcomes while serving a socioeconomically diverse student body, demonstrating that high achievement is possible across different student backgrounds.
