Summary:
The city of Vacaville, California is home to 20 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 5 high schools, all part of the Vacaville Unified School District or the Travis Unified School District. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy and Kairos Public leading the pack, while others such as Ernest Kimme Charter Academy and Eugene Padan Elementary struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism.
The top-performing schools, Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy and Kairos Public, stand out with exceptional graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong academic results, suggesting that the charter school model may be effective in the Vacaville area. In contrast, schools with higher percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, such as Eugene Padan Elementary and Fairmont Charter Elementary, tend to have lower test scores, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.
The data also reveals disparities within the Vacaville Unified School District, with schools like Vacaville High and Will C. Wood High having similar student demographics but different rankings and test scores. Additionally, the importance of attendance is evident, as the schools with the highest chronic absenteeism rates, such as Shereene Wilkerson Academy of Excellence and Eugene Padan Elementary, also tend to have the lowest academic outcomes.
