Summary

Sacramento Charter High is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 with 413 students, located in the Sacramento Charter High District, which ranks in the bottom 25% of California districts.

The school faces significant challenges, most notably an extreme gap in academic performance where English scores are near the state average but mathematics proficiency is critically low at under 4%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of over 43% that is more than double the state average. Despite these academic struggles, the school's graduation rate remains relatively strong at 86%. Comparisons to nearby schools highlight these issues: West Campus achieves 72% math proficiency with lower spending, while The MET has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 12%.

The school's overall state ranking has declined sharply in recent years, and it spends more per student than several higher-performing schools, raising questions about how resources are used. While the school serves a high-needs population, the data suggests urgent attention is needed to improve math instruction, address attendance barriers, and ensure all student groups are effectively supported.
