Summary:
The 94591 high-school list contains one school, Jesse M. Bethel High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,418 students in Vallejo City Unified. In 2025–2026, about 32% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math, and 18% in science. The most important finding is that results were above the district in all three subjects but remained below state results in every subject.
Because Bethel is the only school listed, it is technically both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this area’s list; that is not a meaningful comparison between schools. Its strongest relative result was math: proficiency was 12 points below the state, compared with 17 points below in ELA and 18 below in science. Bethel was 5 points above the district in ELA, 6 points above in math, and 2 points above in science. Grade-level results also point to notable gaps: 11th-grade ELA was 32%, 26 points below the state, while 12th-grade science was 9%, 24 points below the state.
Results changed unevenly over the two years reported. Bethel’s ELA proficiency rose by about 2 points, narrowing its state gap from 19 to 17 points; math was nearly unchanged, and its state gap widened from 11 to 12 points. Science fell by 4 points while the state result rose, widening the gap from 11 to 18 points. SchoolDigger ranked Bethel at the 29th percentile in 2023–2024, the 39th in 2024–2025, and the 35th in 2025–2026. Other context: 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 21:1. Graduation was about 88%, near the state’s 88%, while chronic absenteeism was 34%, compared with 18% statewide.
