Summary

Federal Terrace Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 228 students in the Vallejo City Unified district, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below state averages and a chronic absenteeism rate that is more than double the state average. Its performance is mixed when compared to nearby schools; it outperforms some like Highland Elementary and Mare Island Health and Fitness Academy but lags far behind higher-achieving schools such as Cave Language Academy. The school's results also vary dramatically from grade to grade and from year to year for specific groups of students, indicating inconsistency in instructional support.

Notably, the school's struggles occur despite it spending more per student than some higher-performing schools in the area, including Cave Language Academy. This suggests that factors beyond funding, such as school culture, instructional quality, and effective programs to improve attendance, are critical for student success. The presence of higher-performing schools with similar student demographics in the same district, like Cave Language Academy and the charter school Caliber: ChangeMakers Academy, indicates that improvement is possible with targeted strategies.
