Capital College & Career Academy District

Capital College & Career Academy is the only school in Capital College & Career Academy District, serving grades 9–12 with 115 students. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below California’s in every reported subject and grade grouping. Across all grades, 32% were proficient in English language arts, 11% in math, and 25% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. The most important finding is the especially large all-grades math gap: 11% proficient at the school versus 38% statewide, a 27-point difference.

There is no meaningful top-to-bottom school comparison because the district has just one school; it is the highest and lowest by default. The results also show a notable difference by subject for 11th graders: proficiency was 32% in English language arts, 11% in math, and 25% in science, compared with state rates of 57%, 32%, and 38%. The school’s largest 11th-grade gap was in English language arts, at 26 points, while its math gap was 21 points. SchoolDigger gives the school one star and ranks it 1,510th of 2,137 California schools, in the 29th percentile.

The available results do not show whether performance is improving or declining over time; only one year of scores is provided. One unusual pattern is that the school’s all-grades and 11th-grade results are identical in all three subjects, while statewide results differ between those groupings. Chronic absenteeism is considerably higher than the state rate: 40% at the school versus 18% statewide, a 22-point gap. The student–teacher ratio was 14.2 in 2024–2025, and 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are contextual figures, not explanations for academic results. With only one school and one year of results, the data cannot establish trends or compare the school with similar schools.
