Sacramento Charter High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 539 out of 2,123 California high schools in 2021-2022 to 1,387 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong rankings for African American students but struggles for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the state average, with only 47.62% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 8.33% proficient in Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from 87.6% in 2021-2022 to 85.9% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rate of 8.5% is higher than the state average.

Other nearby charter schools, such as SAVA - Sacramento Academic and Vocational Academy, also outperform Sacramento Charter High on several measures. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Sacramento Charter High (70.41% in 2022-2023) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces.

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.
