Summary

John Swett High is a public high school serving about 350 students in grades 9-12 in Crockett, California, and it consistently achieves solid results despite being part of the John Swett Unified district, which is ranked in the bottom quarter of districts statewide.

The school has notable strengths, including a graduation rate above the state average and particularly strong performance in English Language Arts, where students outperform both their district and the state. It also does an exceptional job keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate far lower than nearby alternative schools like Willow High or Vicente Martinez High. However, math and science scores remain an area for improvement, consistently falling below the state average, which is a common challenge among similar schools in the area such as Jesse M. Bethel High.

While the school's statewide ranking has dipped in recent years alongside a significant increase in student economic need, it continues to outperform expectations for its context. It graduates students at a much higher rate than Vallejo High and achieves this with a student population facing greater economic challenges than higher-performing schools in wealthier areas like Benicia High. This makes John Swett High a compelling example of a school delivering relative success for its community.
