Da Vinci Design

Summary:

Da Vinci Design is a public charter high school located in El Segundo, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 538 students. The school is part of the Da Vinci Design District, which is ranked 716 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Da Vinci Design has consistently ranked in the top half of California high schools, with a statewide ranking between 582 and 1,072 over the past 5 years. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to the state average, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but higher proficiency in Science. Subgroup performance varies, with African American students and disabled students performing significantly better than the state average, while male students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students perform below the state average. Da Vinci Design maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 99.2% and a low dropout rate of 0.8%, but has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.4%.

Compared to nearby schools, Da Vinci Design performs significantly better than Family First Charter, which has very low academic performance, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism. However, the school lags behind the highly-ranked Hawthorne Math and Science Academy, another public charter school, in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. Additionally, El Segundo High, a traditional public high school, outperforms Da Vinci Design in academic achievement, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
