Original Research by School Decision on Ingenuity Charter District
Ingenuity Charter District is a small charter district serving grades six through twelve in San Diego County, with one school, Ingenuity Charter. The enrollment is quite small, concentrated heavily in the upper high school grades. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller shares of Black, Asian, and white students, as well as American Indian and Native Hawaiian students. Data on free-and-reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education enrollment, and English learner status were not available.
State assessment results and graduation rate data were not available in the reporting received, so it is not possible to characterize academic proficiency or the completion pathway from this district's perspective. Without those measures, a parent cannot easily see how student learning compares to other districts or what share of students are completing high school.
The chronic absenteeism rate reported for the district places it in the bottom quartile among San Diego County's districts. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand what attendance challenges exist and what supports are in place. Per-pupil current spending falls in the middle to upper range compared to the county, suggesting the district maintains a reasonably resourced operation despite its small size.
The district's very small enrollment, with only a handful of middle school students and more substantial numbers in grades nine through twelve, indicates this is a high school-focused operation with only a bridge of younger students. The geographic location within San Diego County is not specified in available records. A parent considering this district would benefit from contacting the school directly to learn about its academic programs, the specific supports offered to address attendance, and what curriculum and post-secondary pathways it emphasizes for its upper grades.
