Summary

Kairos Public is a high-performing K-10 alternative school in Vacaville, CA, serving 786 students within the highly-ranked Kairos Public District.

The school consistently outperforms state averages in English, math, and science, with proficiency rates far above nearby alternative schools like Elite Public and Napa Valley Independent Studies. A standout feature is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2%, which is dramatically better than the high rates seen at comparable schools, indicating a highly engaged student body. While it operates with a moderate per-student budget and a typical class size, it achieves these strong results efficiently.

Compared to its peers, Kairos Public serves a student population with a lower rate of economic disadvantage, and it maintains remarkably stable and high academic achievement year over year. Its success challenges some assumptions, as it delivers top-tier outcomes with lower spending than many nearby schools, including the Davis School for Independent Study, which has a much smaller enrollment. This positions Kairos Public as a compelling model of an effective and efficient alternative education program.
