Summary

SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy - SCUSD is a Sacramento, California, school serving grades 7–12 with 672 students. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were well below state and district results in English, math, and science, with math especially low. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 68% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18% statewide.

Among 11th graders, SAVA was below nearby-school averages and the state and district in all three subjects: 15% were proficient in English language arts, 2% in math, and 5% in science, compared with nearby averages of 31%, 18%, and 24%. Science is a relative strength against the state and Sacramento City Unified, though results remain low: across all grades, 10% were proficient in science, versus 36% statewide and 30% districtwide. A brighter spot is 12th-grade science, where 26% were proficient and SAVA exceeded six of eight nearby schools with results, including Rosemont High and Luther Burbank High. Math is the weakest subject relative to both state and district benchmarks.

Results have improved since 2022–23 in all three subjects: science rose 5 percentage points, math 2, and English 4. However, the state gaps widened slightly in math and science, and English scores fell 2 points in the latest year. Graduation is improving—from 40% in 2023–24 to 59% in 2025–26—but remains below the state’s 88%. SchoolDigger ranks SAVA in the 16th percentile overall and gives it 1 star; its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 16.7, below the nearby-school average of 20.2, and 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable contrast: in 2023–24, the English Language Learner Students percentile was 50, compared with 15 overall, while the Special Education Students percentile fell from 40 in 2023–24 to 5 in 2025–26, as the overall percentile remained around 15.
