Summary

Dan Mini Elementary is a K–5 school with 433 students in Vallejo, part of Vallejo City Unified. Its 2025–26 test results were stronger than the district’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but remained well below California’s results. The main takeaway is that Dan Mini stands out positively among its district peers, while a substantial gap remains between its results and the state’s.

In 2025–26, Dan Mini’s proficiency rates were 29% in ELA, 24% in math, and 19% in science—about 3, 4, and 3 percentage points above district rates, respectively, and second among district schools with results in each subject. Against the state, it was behind by about 20 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 17 in science. Among nearby schools with results, Dan Mini ranked sixth of ten in ELA and math, and fifth of nine in science. Within the school, third-grade math was a relative bright spot at 37%, compared with 14% in fifth grade; fifth-grade ELA was strongest, at 36%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so comparisons across all grades are not perfectly like-for-like.

Results have slipped over the longer term: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, Dan Mini’s proficiency fell by about 3 points in ELA, 1 in math, and 1 in science, while the state’s results rose and the gaps widened. Chronic absenteeism improved from 58% in 2021–22 to 24% in 2025–26, below the district’s 33% but above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger rated Dan Mini in the 20th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, down from the 33rd percentile in 2022–23. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 24, and 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable subgroup result: SchoolDigger placed African American students at the 92nd statewide percentile in 2024–25, compared with the school’s overall 27th percentile that year, indicating a much stronger relative standing for this group.
