Summary

Da Vinci Schools 612 is a public charter high school located in Jackson, Michigan, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 355 students. The school is part of the Da Vinci Schools district, which is ranked 457 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Da Vinci Schools 612 has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 181 out of 666 Michigan high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 499 out of 743 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also declined from 4 stars in 2018-2019 to 2 stars in recent years. While male students at the school have performed significantly better than female students, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have performed relatively well, ranking 160 out of 635 Michigan high schools in 2024-2025 (4-star rating). However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 74.7% in recent years, which likely contributes to its fluctuating academic performance and graduation rates.

Nearby schools, such as Northwest High School and Jackson High School, have generally outperformed Da Vinci Schools 612 in terms of statewide ranking, graduation rates, and academic performance. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges in maintaining consistent educational outcomes for its students, which could be related to the high proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds it serves. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving overall educational opportunities for all students should be a priority for the school and district.
