Summary:
The Da Vinci Design District is home to a single public charter high school, Da Vinci Design, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 538 students. While the school boasts an impressive 99.2% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.8% dropout rate, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, is an area of concern, with proficiency rates below the statewide averages.
Despite its relatively high ranking among California high schools, Da Vinci Design faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 24.4%. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 53% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed, suggesting the need for targeted support and interventions to address the unique needs of the student population.
Overall, while Da Vinci Design demonstrates strengths in its ability to support students through high school completion, the school's leadership and community must focus on improving instructional practices, addressing chronic absenteeism, and providing additional resources and support to help students achieve higher levels of academic success, particularly in core subject areas. By addressing these areas of concern, the school can work towards ensuring all students have the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
