Summary

Da Vinci RISE High is a small public high school serving about 167 students in grades 9-12 in El Segundo, California, operating within the Da Vinci RISE High District and sharing a campus with other, higher-performing Da Vinci schools.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates far below state averages—only about 12% in English and 3% in math—and alarmingly low graduation rates that have recently been as low as 9%. Chronic absenteeism, affecting over two-thirds of students, and a high student-teacher ratio of nearly 32-to-1 are major concerns. Despite spending over $23,000 per student, which is more than many nearby schools like El Segundo High or Hawthorne Math and Science Academy, these substantial resources have not translated into stronger student outcomes.

Comparisons with other local schools highlight these struggles; for example, alternative schools like Arena High (Continuation) achieve much higher graduation rates. The data suggests Da Vinci RISE High serves a distinct student population with intensive needs, acting as a critical safety net. However, the extreme performance gaps and the fact that other schools in the area with similar socioeconomic challenges achieve better results indicate systemic issues that require comprehensive support and intervention.
