Summary

Calvine High is a small public high school serving 137 students in grades 9-12 within the Elk Grove Unified School District in Sacramento, facing significant academic and attendance challenges.

The school is currently ranked in the bottom 5% of all California high schools, with proficiency rates far below district and state averages, including 0% in mathematics. A critical issue is chronic absenteeism, with 71% of students missing significant school time, which is more than triple the average for Elk Grove Unified. While the school spends more per student and has smaller class sizes than many neighbors like Pleasant Grove High or Sheldon High, these resources have not led to stronger outcomes. Its performance is most similar to other small, alternative schools in the area such as William Daylor High and Rio Cazadero High.

Performance has been volatile year-to-year, and the school serves a student population where over 80% are economically disadvantaged. The extreme gap between the highest and lowest performing high schools within Elk Grove Unified highlights the district's equity challenges. Addressing the severe attendance crisis is likely a necessary first step before academic interventions can be fully effective.
