Summary

Fortune is a K-12 alternative school in Sacramento serving 1,698 students, operating as its own Fortune District and serving a community with high economic need.

Academically, Fortune's test scores in English, math, and science are below the state average, though it performs in the middle range compared to other local alternative schools. For instance, it outperforms Capital City Independent Study but trails behind higher-performing alternatives like Visions In Education. A significant strength is its graduation rate, which has been competitive with the state average, a notable achievement compared to some nearby alternatives like California Innovative Career Academy or Marconi Learning Academy which have much lower graduation rates.

The school has invested heavily in recent years, dramatically increasing spending per student and improving the student-teacher ratio to 18-to-1. A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 32.5% is higher than the state average, though it has improved and is far lower than at some peer schools. Performance varies by grade, with high school English showing particular strength. Compared to its closest peers, Fortune represents a middle path, avoiding the severe challenges seen at some alternatives while working to translate its increased resources into stronger academic outcomes for all students.
