Summary

Jean Callison Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 762 students in the Vacaville Unified School District, currently ranking in the middle range of California elementary schools with a recent shift in its performance profile.

Academically, the school's results are mixed, with proficiency rates in English and Math below the state average, though its Science scores are competitive. A notable strength is the school's success in reducing chronic student absenteeism, which is now better than both district and state averages. The school serves a student population where economic need has increased significantly in recent years, and it operates with less funding per student than many neighboring schools like Hemlock Elementary and Cooper Elementary, suggesting it manages resources efficiently.

When compared to nearby schools, Jean Callison performs below higher-achieving peers such as Browns Valley Elementary and Sierra Vista K-8 but outperforms others like Eugene Padan Elementary. The school shows significant variation in effectiveness across different student groups and grade levels, with mathematics in the upper elementary grades being a particular area for improvement. Its performance within the wider Vacaville Unified district is average, reflecting a broad spectrum of school outcomes across the community.
