Summary

SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy is a public 7-12 grade high school serving 672 students in Sacramento, operating as its own small district and ranking consistently in the bottom quartile of schools statewide.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English (18.6%), Math (2.08%), and Science (6.25%) far below state averages, and a graduation rate of 55.3% that is substantially lower than the state's 87.5%. Compared to nearby schools, SAVA's outcomes are among the lowest, even when looking at schools with similar student populations; for instance, Luther Burbank High and Rosemont High show higher proficiency. Notably, SAVA's graduation rate is lower and dropout rate higher than even nearby continuation and alternative schools like American Legion High (Continuation). However, the school does manage a lower chronic absenteeism rate (24.2%) than several neighbors and offers a smaller student-teacher ratio (16.7:1) than larger comprehensive high schools.

Despite the "Vocational" in its name, the data does not show this focus translating to stronger academic results. The school's district, SAVA - Sacramento Academy and Vocational Academy - SCUSD Di, ranks in the 4th percentile statewide. There are signs of potential, including a recent improvement in chronic absenteeism and a fluctuating but recently higher graduation rate. The extreme variation in school performance in the area—from top-performing West Campus to struggling schools—highlights that different approaches can yield different results even in the same community.
