Summary:
Three public high schools serving grades 9-12 are located in Sacramento's 95818 zip code, all part of the Sacramento City Unified district, with enrollments ranging from a small 156 students to over 2,500.
These schools show distinct strengths: C. K. McClatchy High is the largest and has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking. Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High stands out with an exceptional 96.3% graduation rate and the highest English proficiency, while The MET has remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 12.1%. The two smaller schools benefit from significantly more funding per student and much lower student-to-teacher ratios than the larger comprehensive high school.
Common challenges include mathematics proficiency, which is below state averages at all three schools. There's also an interesting paradox where the school with the strongest graduation rates also has the highest rate of chronic absenteeism, suggesting complex factors at play. Overall, these schools perform better than the district's average ranking, indicating they are relative strengths within the Sacramento City Unified system, with each offering a different model—from large comprehensive to small, specialized programs.
