Summary

Fairmont Charter Elementary is a public K-6 charter school serving 586 students within the Vacaville Unified School District, currently facing significant academic challenges with a statewide ranking in the bottom 16th percentile.

The school's academic performance is notably lower than many nearby schools, with only about 27% of students proficient in English and 20% in math, compared to over 57% proficiency at nearby Sierra Vista K-8 and 59% at Browns Valley Elementary. Fairmont also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.6%, which is more than double the rate at Sierra Vista and is closely linked to lower academic achievement. While the school spends more per student ($16,865) than most comparison schools, this has not translated into stronger outcomes, and its performance has declined sharply over the past three years.

Performance varies considerably by grade, with a particularly steep drop in 5th-grade math proficiency to just 11%. The school serves a student population with high economic need, with nearly 70% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite its charter status, which often allows for more flexibility, Fairmont's results lag behind both traditional district schools and other charters in the area, indicating deep-seated challenges that require targeted intervention and support.
