Original Research by School Decision on Da Vinci Communications District
Da Vinci Communications District is a small, high school only district in Los Angeles County serving grades nine through twelve. The district operates a single school, Da Vinci Communications, with a total enrollment of about five hundred students distributed evenly across the four grade levels.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic and Black, with smaller representation from Asian, white, and multiracial students. The data does not include counts for free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility, students with individualized education plans, or English learners, so those population shares are not available here.
State assessment data and four-year graduation rates were not provided, so academic proficiency and completion outcomes cannot be evaluated from this record. Without these metrics, a reader cannot assess how students perform on state standards or exit the high school. A parent looking at this district would want to contact the school directly to understand what test results and graduation data show, and to learn what course offerings, career pathways, and support services are available to students.
On chronic absenteeism, Da Vinci Communications District sits above the midpoint when compared against the other districts in Los Angeles County, meaning a lower share of students are chronically absent. This is a concrete strength; attendance matters for completion and learning. The district's per-pupil current spending is in the lower range among county districts, a fact that may shape resource availability in areas like staffing, materials, and facilities.
The district brief indicated that research on parent-relevant changes or strategic shifts was not completed, so the narrative of where this district is headed is not available here. Beyond the school's enrollment and attendance position, little about its academic direction, program design, or community context emerged from the available data. A prospective family would benefit from visiting the school website, attending an information session, or speaking directly with administration to understand what Da Vinci Communications offers in terms of academics, career preparation, and student support.
