Da Vinci Charter Academy

Summary:

Da Vinci Charter Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Davis, California, part of the highly-ranked Davis Joint Unified School District. With a student population of 611, Da Vinci Charter Academy has consistently been ranked as one of the top high schools in the state, currently holding a statewide ranking of 216 out of 2,323 California high schools and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Da Vinci Charter Academy stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests, with a higher percentage of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also boasts an exceptionally high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 96.3% to 100% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Da Vinci Charter Academy has lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state, indicating a high level of student engagement and attendance.

While Davis Senior High School performs well, the performance gap between it and Da Vinci Charter Academy is not as significant as one might expect, given Da Vinci's higher statewide ranking. This suggests that the Davis Joint Unified School District as a whole is providing a strong educational foundation for its students. However, the nearby continuation schools, such as King (Martin Luther) High and Maine Prairie High, face significant challenges, with much lower academic performance, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism compared to Da Vinci Charter Academy and the district as a whole.

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.
