Summary:
The Caliber: ChangeMakers Academy District in Vallejo contains a single, large K-8 school, Caliber: ChangeMakers Academy, serving 975 students with a consistent academic ranking in the lower third of California schools over the past three years.
Academic performance at Caliber: ChangeMakers Academy is below state averages, with English Language Arts proficiency at 36% and Mathematics at 27%. However, a notable positive trend is the strong improvement in ELA scores from 3rd to 7th grade, suggesting effective literacy support for older students. In contrast, math scores remain low across all grades, indicating an area needing focused attention. The school's K-8 structure is less common than traditional elementary schools and can offer students greater continuity.
Key operational factors include a chronic absenteeism rate slightly above the state average and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite per-student spending that is near or above the state average, the school's ranking has remained stable but low. For parents, this suggests a school with significant challenges but also specific strengths, particularly in developing reading and language skills in its middle-grade students, within a supportive K-8 environment.
