Summary:

The Vacaville Unified school district serves roughly 12,000 students across 17 schools, including 10 elementary schools, one middle school, and six high schools, in a district that ranks near the middle of all California districts.

Performance varies widely across the district, with standout schools like Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy and Browns Valley Elementary earning 4-star ratings for strong academics and graduation rates, while others like Ernest Kimme Charter Academy and Eugene Padan Elementary face significant challenges with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism.

Key takeaways for parents include that the district's graduation rate is above the state average, but math proficiency is a widespread challenge; student attendance shows a strong link to academic success; and among the traditional comprehensive high schools, Vacaville High has the strongest outcomes.
