Summary:
The Benicia Unified school district serves roughly 4,300 students across seven schools, including four elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools, and ranks in the top quarter of districts statewide.
Among its standout schools, Matthew Turner Elementary is the district's top performer, earning a 5-star rating with the highest test scores and the best student attendance. Benicia High is also a consistent, strong choice with a very high graduation rate. In contrast, Liberty High faces significant challenges, including very low test scores and high chronic absenteeism, though it maintains a high graduation rate for its small student body.
Overall, the district's elementary schools perform well and consistently. A clear pattern across all schools is the strong link between regular attendance and academic success. While most schools in Benicia Unified are above average, the wide range in performance between schools is an important consideration for families.
