Original Research by School Decision on Da Vinci Science District
Da Vinci Science District is a small high school district in Los Angeles County serving students in grades nine through twelve. The district comprises one school, Da Vinci Science, and operates with an enrollment balanced across the four high school grades.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with substantial representation from Asian, Black, and White students, along with smaller groups from other backgrounds. The composition reflects Los Angeles County's diversity. Data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as counts of students with disabilities or English learners, was not available, so a full picture of economic need and support requirements cannot be drawn from the materials provided.
Academically, state testing data and graduation rate information were not available, which limits direct assessment of student proficiency and college-ready completion rates. A parent may want to reach out to the district directly to understand how students are performing on state assessments and what the district's recent graduation outcomes look like.
One clear strength of the district is chronic absenteeism. The attendance picture is notably strong compared to other districts in Los Angeles County; Da Vinci Science District sits in the top quartile for low absenteeism rates, meaning students are showing up to school at a higher rate than the median district in the county. This is a meaningful signal of engagement and access.
The district's per-pupil spending sits in the lower range among Los Angeles County districts, suggesting leaner operational resources relative to many peers. This may affect the scope of offerings or support services available; a parent interested in understanding what programs and services the district prioritizes within its budget should contact the school directly.
No recent parent-relevant district changes were confirmed through available sources, so information on strategic priorities, curriculum shifts, or facility improvements is not present in this summary.
