Hemlock Elementary is a public elementary school in Vacaville, California, serving 412 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Vacaville Unified School District, which is ranked 798 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

Academically, Hemlock Elementary's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 24.49% to 53.33%, compared to the district's 41.88% to 44.63% and the state's 44.21% to 48.81%. In Mathematics, Hemlock's proficiency rates ranged from 24.44% to 41.67%, while the district and state averages were higher. The school's Science performance, as measured by the CAST assessment, is also lower than the district and state.

Hemlock Elementary faces other challenges as well. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 25.3% in recent years, compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Hemlock has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. When compared to nearby schools like Sierra Vista K-8, Cooper Elementary, and Orchard Elementary, Hemlock generally performs lower academically. Addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors, could potentially help improve the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
