Summary

Fairfield High is a public high school in Fairfield, California, serving grades 9–12 with 1,605 students in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified district. Its most important challenge is low proficiency across subjects: in 2025–26, results in English language arts (ELA), math and science were below both state and district results, as well as averages for nearby comprehensive high schools.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to its district and nearby peers, while math is its weakest. In 2025–26, 40% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 49% statewide and 41% in the district; math proficiency was 13%, versus 38% statewide and 28% in the district. Science proficiency was 20%, compared with 36% statewide and 28% in the district. Among nearby grades 9–12 schools—Armijo High, Will C. Wood High, Vacaville High and Vanden High—average proficiency was 58% in ELA, 26% in math and 35% in science. Fairfield was below each of these schools in all three subjects.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency fell by 5 percentage points, while math rose by 2 points and science edged up by 0.3 points. Despite the small gains, the gaps with the state widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 31st percentile with 2 stars, down from the 43rd percentile in 2022–23. Its student–teacher ratio was 23.7 in 2024–25. In that year, 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; California also provides statewide free meals, so this eligibility figure does not indicate whether students can receive meals. SchoolDigger’s group rankings point to weaker relative results for multi-racial students, at the 8th percentile compared with 31 overall. White students ranked at the 17th percentile, down from 47 in 2023–24.
