Summary

Public Safety Academy is a standout 5th-12th grade public school in Fairfield-Suisun Unified with about 745 students, consistently ranking among the very best high schools in all of California.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are dramatically higher than both the district and state averages. For example, its 78% English proficiency far outpaces nearby Armijo High (31%) and Fairfield High (44%). Perhaps most impressively, PSA maintains a perfect 100% graduation rate with zero dropouts, a record it has held for five years in a row, and its chronic absenteeism is about half the rate of other schools in the area.

What makes PSA particularly noteworthy is that it achieves this top-tier success while serving a student population with similar levels of economic need and per-student funding as other local schools. It significantly outperforms other specialized schools in the region, such as Ernest Kimme Charter Academy and Travis Education Center, demonstrating that its public safety-themed model and school culture are highly effective in supporting student achievement and engagement.
