Summary:

Mare Island Health and Fitness Academy is an elementary school in Vallejo, California, serving 427 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Vallejo City Unified School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mare Island Health and Fitness Academy faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low proficiency in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages, and particularly low performance for male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio. Nearby schools in the Vallejo City Unified School District, such as Highland Elementary, Steffan Manor Elementary, and Johnston Cooper Elementary, also face similar challenges, suggesting systemic issues within the district.

However, the nearby Caliber: ChangeMakers Academy charter school has significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, indicating that there may be opportunities for the Vallejo City Unified School District to learn from and adopt effective practices that can help improve academic outcomes for students. Additionally, the relatively better performance of African American students at Mare Island Health and Fitness Academy suggests that the school may have some effective practices or programs that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for other student groups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
