Summary:
The four schools in John Swett Unified serve kindergarten through grade 12 and enroll 1,197 students, from 26 at Willow High to 534 at Rodeo Hills Elementary. The clearest area-wide concern is math: in 2025–26, the three schools with reported scores averaged 14% proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a 24-point shortfall; each was 22 to 26 points below the state.
John Swett High stands out among schools with reported results, leading in all three subjects: 50% in ELA, 17% in math, and 28% in science. Its ELA result was 1 point above state and 14 points above the next-highest school, Carquinez Middle; its math and science scores remained below state. Rodeo Hills had the lowest ELA and science results, while Carquinez had the lowest math. Completion results also differ: John Swett High reported a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, while Willow High reported 73% graduation, 27% dropout, and 68% chronic absenteeism, versus 18% statewide. Willow’s test scores are suppressed; school averages include only the three schools with reported scores.
Across the two reported years, the group average moved farther below state results in every subject: the ELA shortfall widened from 10 to 11 points, math from 19 to 24, and science from 12 to 13, even as the science average rose from 21% to 23%. SchoolDigger statewide rank percentiles fell from 19 to 12 at Rodeo Hills and 60 to 43 at John Swett High, while Carquinez rose from 19 to 26. Class-size context varies: student–teacher ratios range from 18.5 at John Swett High to 22.8 at Willow High. The schools’ free/reduced lunch eligible figures for school year 2024–25 ranged from 69% at Willow High to 84% at Carquinez Middle; these measures provide context, not an explanation for school results.
