Summary

SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy is a small public high school serving 234 students in grades 7-12 in Sacramento, operating as its own independent SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English (20%) and especially math (3%) far below state averages, and a graduation rate of 41% that is less than half the state average. This performance lags behind many nearby schools, such as Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep (99% graduation) and Rio Linda High (96% graduation), even though it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13-to-1. Chronic absenteeism has been volatile, and per-student spending is lower than at comparison schools like Capital College & Career Academy.

Despite these struggles, the school has shown a steady, multi-year improvement in its statewide ranking. Science appears to be a relative strength, and the school's small size and vocational focus—which isn't fully captured in standard test scores—may offer different pathways for students. For parents, the very low graduation and math proficiency rates are critical considerations, though the upward trend suggests ongoing efforts to address these issues.
