Summary

Ingenuity Charter is a small public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in southeastern San Diego, with an enrollment of 188 students that is part of the Ingenuity Charter District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English (25.71%), Math (5.66%), and Science (16.25%) all well below state averages, and it is ranked in the bottom quartile of California schools. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, affecting 68.6% of students, which is more than triple the state average. The school's graduation rate is 62.5%, and it spends the least per student ($11,368) among all nearby schools, including Gompers Preparatory Academy and City Heights Preparatory Charter.

Despite these struggles, the school has shown relative strength in serving its Special Education students. Furthermore, the performance of nearby schools demonstrates that improvement is possible, as Morse High, located just over a mile away, achieves much higher academic proficiency and graduation rates, and Gompers Preparatory Academy excels with a similar student population, suggesting effective practices can lead to better outcomes.
