GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Vacaville high school is a great school to bring your kids. Their sports program is second to none and brings comradery to the school. The academics are also top notch as all of our teachers are all graduates from colleges such as UC Davis and San Diego State, which are known for their great research facilities.

My high school experience has changed every year from being a shy small freshman who was new to town too being a well know peer and having many friends while also being academically smart. My freshman year was one of my most difficult years as it was a big change from middle school to high school and sophomore year was the same. it wasn't till junior year when my academics got better and also started playing for the team at my school and one of the best club teams near me. So far, I am enjoying my high school experience and am also looking forward to what college has in store for me.

Inconsistent. Some good teachers. Some good experiences. So much needs to be done. Appreciate the ladies in administation who are trying to make a difference. Not the experience/education we hoped it would be. Could have been.
