Summary

MIT Academy is a public high school serving 473 students in grades 9-12 in Vallejo, California, operating within the higher-performing MIT Academy District.

The school has notable strengths, including a very strong 91%+ graduation rate that exceeds the state average and outperforms many local schools like Jesse M. Bethel High and Vallejo High. Its standout feature is science proficiency, where at 41.6%, it significantly beats both the state average and nearby schools. However, math scores are an area for improvement, lagging behind the state and higher-performing schools such as Benicia High and Angelo Rodriguez High. English scores are close to the state average.

While the school spends more per student than many neighbors, it also has a higher student-teacher ratio. A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 28% is higher than the state average and schools like American Canyon High, though it has improved recently. Overall, MIT Academy generally performs better than other Vallejo City Unified schools with similar student populations, showing particular success in science and graduating students.
