Summary:
The Solano County Office of Education operates two small, specialized high schools (grades 7-12) serving vulnerable student populations in alternative education settings.
These schools face significant academic challenges, with Solano County Community showing proficiency rates far below state averages and a graduation rate of 48.8%. In contrast, Solano County Juve Detention Facility - Evergreen Academy, serving a detained population, reported a higher 2022-2023 graduation rate of 63.6% and has a remarkable 0.0% chronic absenteeism rate, though it lacks recent standardized test scores. The schools differ greatly in resources: Evergreen Academy has a very low 4:1 student-teacher ratio and spends $55,736 per student, while Community School has a 16:1 ratio and spends $34,159 per student.
Both schools have historically ranked in the bottom 1-2 percentiles statewide, reflecting the profound difficulties in educating their specific student populations. The broader Solano County Office of Education district itself is ranked in the 1st percentile. This data suggests that while these schools provide essential services and intensive resources, traditional academic metrics may not fully capture their role, which likely emphasizes credit recovery, rehabilitation, and social-emotional support alongside core instruction.
