Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
26 points separate Cave Language Academy (39) from Vallejo Charter (13) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
13 elementary schools span 26 points around an average of 24.1.
Cave Language Academy is the strongest option at 39/100 — 19.9% of its students exceed the state standard.
30.9% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The middle years
The middle schools average 20.7/100 — 17.8 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
All 3 middle schools land within 9 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Mare Island Technology Academy is the strongest option at 26/100 — 9.1% of its students exceed the state standard.
28.3% of students are chronically absent (state: 18.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
29 points separate MIT Academy (49) from John Finney High (Continuation) (20) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
5 high schools span 29 points around an average of 39.4.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
MIT Academy is the strongest option at 49/100 — 14.8% of its students exceed the state standard.
43.0% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Cave Language Academy at 39/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
6 of the 21 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 5 campuses here rank as On the Rise, their returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
