School of Engineering & Sciences

Summary:

The School of Engineering & Sciences is a public high school located in Sacramento, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 572 students. It is part of the Sacramento City Unified School District, which is ranked 1000 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

The school has had a strong performance history, ranking as high as 213 out of 2,133 California high schools in the 2018-2019 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its ranking has fluctuated over the years, with a current ranking of 677 out of 2,323 California high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, earning a 4-star rating. The school's students consistently outperform their peers in the Sacramento City Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, as well as the California Science Test (CAST). For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 11th-grade students scored 59.09% proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 42.75% for the district and 55.73% for the state.

The school's performance on various student group metrics is also noteworthy. Its African American students consistently rank in the top 25% of California high schools, while its Special Education students rank in the top 10% for the past two school years. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 11% in 2017-2018 to 23.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools within the same district, the School of Engineering & Sciences outperforms them on most academic metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates.

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.
