Summary

Cave Language Academy is a 505-student K–8 school in Vallejo, California, in the Vallejo City Unified district. Its clearest strength is English language arts (ELA): in 2025–26, 54% of students were proficient, above both the state rate of 49% and the district rate of 27%.

Cave stands out among nearby schools in ELA and math: it had the highest results in both subjects among nine nearby same-district schools with reported scores. In science, it ranked second among eight schools, behind Joseph H. Wardlaw Elementary. Cave’s ELA result was 5 percentage points above the state and 28 points above the district. Its math proficiency was 36%, slightly below the state’s 38% but above the district’s 20%; science was 27%, below the state’s 36% but above the district’s 16%. So, despite its local advantage, math—and especially science—remain weaker than state results.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose by 5 percentage points, while math fell by 2 and science by 10. Chronic absenteeism improved sharply, dropping from 47% in 2021–22 to 12% in 2025–26, below the current state rate of 18% and district rate of 33%. SchoolDigger placed Cave at the 58th statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, the highest current standing among nearby same-district schools, though its percentile has fluctuated between 58 and 64 in recent years. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well Cave serves English Language Learner students was at the 89th percentile in 2021–22 and 90th in 2022–23, before falling to the 71st percentile in 2023–24. In 2024–25, Cave’s student–teacher ratio was 25.5, close to the nearby-school average of 25.9; 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, nearly the lowest share among nearby schools.
