Summary

Vallejo Mill Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 388 students in the Fremont Unified School District, which is known as a high-performing district overall.

The school's recent statewide ranking has declined, placing it in the 57th percentile for the 2024-2025 year, with academic proficiency rates in English and Math below the district average but generally near or slightly above state averages. A significant and persistent challenge is a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8%, which is nearly double the district average and much higher than nearby schools like John Gomes Elementary (5.0%) and Brookvale Elementary (5.9%). Academic performance also shows a notable gap when compared to other schools in the district, such as Joshua Chadbourne Elementary.

Despite having a more favorable student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than many comparable schools like Brier Elementary and Parkmont Elementary, these resources have not translated into stronger academic outcomes. Performance varies considerably between grade levels, with 4th grade showing strength while 3rd grade scores are much lower, indicating potential inconsistencies in curriculum or instruction. The school's effectiveness also varies for different student groups, with a notable performance gap between male and female students.
