Summary

Vallejo High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,150 students in the Vallejo City Unified district, a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school faces significant hurdles, with test scores, a 72% graduation rate, and a high dropout rate trailing behind most neighboring comprehensive high schools like Benicia High and American Canyon High. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, affecting nearly half the students, which directly impacts learning. Interestingly, while the district ranks low statewide, some local charter schools such as MIT Academy achieve stronger results with similar student populations.

Despite these challenges, Vallejo High shows important strengths and signs of progress. It performs notably well in supporting English Language Learners and has shown recent improvement with Special Education students. The school's mathematics scores are a relative bright spot, exceeding the district average. Furthermore, its statewide ranking has been gradually improving over the past few years, indicating positive momentum that families may want to consider.
