Summary

Weir Preparatory Academy is a K-8 public school serving 699 students in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified school district, which faces academic challenges across many of its schools.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are significantly below both district and state averages, with math being a particular area of concern. However, there are signs of recent improvement in these scores, and performance in 8th grade is notably stronger, even exceeding averages in English. The school has an alarmingly high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 37.7%, which is strongly correlated with lower academic performance when compared to nearby schools with better attendance like K. I. Jones Elementary and Rolling Hills Elementary.

Interesting comparisons show that Virtual Academy of Fairfield-Suisun, located less than a mile away and serving a similar student population, achieves much higher test scores with minimal absenteeism. For Weir to improve, key areas to address include reducing chronic absenteeism, strengthening mathematics instruction, and understanding how to extend its successful 8th-grade outcomes to all grade levels.

Although this school may be lacking a bit in their numbers, this is a good school. The principle Ms. Lacy cares about the students safety, and strives to offer an interesting environment for the students. My child really enjoys going to school there. Close Quote
