Summary:
The Mare Island Technology Academy District in Vallejo consists of a single public charter middle school, Mare Island Technology Academy, serving grades 6 through 8 with 260 students.
This school shows a promising trend of improvement, having moved from a 1-star to a 2-star state ranking in recent years. However, parents should note that academic proficiency in English, math, and science currently remains below state averages. A notable bright spot is the 7th grade, which performs relatively strongly, especially in math. The school dedicates significant resources, spending well above the state average per student, and serves a student population where a high percentage qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Key areas for consideration include the school's very high student-to-teacher ratio, which contrasts with its high per-student spending, and a chronic absentee rate slightly above the state average. While the "Technology Academy" name suggests a specialized focus, science scores are particularly low. For families, the school represents a setting with clear improvement momentum and substantial funding, but also clear academic challenges that the district is working to address.
