MIT Academy

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

MIT Academy is a 9–12 high school in Vallejo, a Bay Area community, with 473 students. Its clearest standout is science: in 2024–2025, 42% of students were proficient, the highest result among nearby schools with reported scores and above the state’s 33%.

Science is also where MIT Academy most clearly outperformed nearby schools: their average was 24%. Math is the biggest concern. MIT’s 25% proficiency was 12 points below the state’s 37%; it was near the nearby-school average of 23%, but six of the nine nearby schools with reported scores were higher. ELA was close to the state: MIT scored 48.4% versus 48.8%, and was slightly above the nearby-school average of 44%. Proficiency results for MIT Academy District were not supplied, so a school-to-district comparison is unavailable.

Results have shifted over time: science rose from 20% in 2022–2023 to 42% in 2024–2025, while math rebounded to 25% after dipping to 17%; ELA fell from 56% in 2023–2024 to 48%. SchoolDigger ranked MIT 803rd of 2,162 California schools in 2024–2025, at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars; its percentile was 80 in 2018–2019. Its 25.2:1 student–teacher ratio was the highest among nearby schools with current figures. In 2024–2025, 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Hispanic students fell from the 71st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 50th in 2024–2025. For African American students, it went from the 88th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 46th in 2023–2024, a sharp change that warrants attention.
