Better than 6% of California elementary schools

Summary

Vallejo Charter is a K-8 school serving 350 students in the Vallejo City Unified district, an area where many schools face academic challenges.

Recent data shows Vallejo Charter's academic performance has declined significantly, now ranking in the bottom 6% of all California schools. This is a sharp drop from just a few years ago and places it far below nearby schools like Cave Language Academy (ranking in the 63rd percentile) and Glen Cove Elementary (42nd percentile). Interestingly, the school spends more per student than any of its neighbors, yet this higher investment has not led to better test scores in English and math.

There are some mixed signals: the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while high, is better than many district peers, and its science scores are slightly above the district average. However, performance varies greatly between grade levels and among different groups of students. The school's struggles are happening within a broader district context, but the strong performance of a school less than half a mile away demonstrates that better outcomes are possible in the same community.
