Summary

Vacaville High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 2,044 students in the Vacaville Unified district, representing a solid, mid-tier option with notable strengths in student engagement and graduation success.

The school excels at keeping students on track to graduate, with a 93.7% graduation rate that outpaces both district and state averages, and it has an exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism at just 8.4%. Academically, the picture is mixed: students perform very well in English Language Arts (61% proficient), but the school faces a significant challenge in mathematics, where only about 25% of students are proficient—a trend seen across other district schools like Will C. Wood High and Vaca Pena Middle. Compared to nearby schools, Vacaville High achieves its strong engagement outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several peers and operating with a moderate student-teacher ratio.

When looking at local options, there is a notable performance divide among charter schools. Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy stands out with very high academic proficiency, while Ernest Kimme Charter Academy serves a different need as an alternative program. Nearby Vanden High in the Travis Unified district has a slightly higher academic ranking and graduation rate but a much higher chronic absenteeism rate. Overall, Vacaville High is a school that successfully graduates and engages its students, with a clear opportunity for growth in strengthening its mathematics instruction.
