Summary

George Washington Carver School of Arts and Science is a small Sacramento high school serving 174 students in grades 9–12 in the Sacramento City Unified district. Its latest results show a sharp difference between subjects: science is a relative bright spot, while math proficiency is far below state and district levels. The clearest concern for families is math, with only 7% of students proficient.

Compared with the state and district in 2025–2026, Carver was behind in every tested subject, but its science gap was smallest: 29% were proficient, 7 points below the state and 1 point below the district. Among five nearby comprehensive high schools, its science result was 4 points above their average of 24%; Carver also exceeded four of the five. By contrast, its ELA and math results were 7 and 8 points below those schools’ averages, respectively. A grade-level exception is 12th-grade science, at 45% proficient versus 17% in 11th grade; Carver also had a higher graduation rate than the state and district, 90% versus 88% for each. Chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 33%, compared with 18% statewide and 27% districtwide.

Results and rankings have weakened over time: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile fell from 62 in 2022–2023 to 35 in 2025–2026, and its rating is now 2 stars. ELA fell 22 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math changed by −3 points across the four years. Carver’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 13.9, the lowest among the five nearby comprehensive high schools, though this does not explain test results. In 2024–2025, 51% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the comparable-school average of 68%. SchoolDigger’s measure for female students was at the 19th percentile in 2025–2026, below the school’s overall 35th percentile, and had fallen 44 points since 2023–2024. With 174 students, results for smaller groups may shift noticeably from year to year.
