Summary

Davinci School For Science And The Arts is a public charter high school in El Paso, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 965 students. The school is part of the Burnham Wood Charter School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davinci School has shown strong performance in some areas, with a high 97.7% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.7% dropout rate in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's performance on STAAR tests is mixed, with better results in subjects like Algebra I and Biology, but lagging behind in Mathematics and Social Studies. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, but struggles with White and Female student performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Davinci School generally performs better than El Paso High School and Chapin High School, which are part of the El Paso Independent School District. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Young Women's STEAM Research & Preparatory Academy and the early college high school Northwest Early College H.S. (NWECHS). Additionally, Davinci School's performance has declined over the years, and the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these challenges.
