Summary:
This analysis covers the single high school, Sacramento New Technology Early College High, located in the 95822 zip code of Sacramento, California, a public school serving 155 students in grades 9-12 within the Sacramento City Unified district.
The school presents a notable contrast in its performance metrics. Its greatest strength is a remarkably high 93.9% graduation rate, which is significantly better than both the district and state averages, coupled with a very low dropout rate of just 3.0%. This indicates a highly successful model for keeping students engaged and on track to earn a diploma. However, this success in persistence is not matched by standardized test scores, which are well below average in English, math, and science proficiency compared to the district and state.
With per-student spending above $23,000, the school is a high-investment institution that excels at supporting its high-need student population through to graduation. Key areas for potential improvement include addressing chronically low math proficiency and a high rate of student absenteeism, which likely impacts academic achievement. For parents, this school represents a compelling option if the priority is a supportive environment that ensures graduation, though academic support in core subjects may require close attention.
