  2. Travis Unified School District

    • School District
    • Fairfield, CA
    • 12 reviews
    #3 Best School Districts in Solano County

    Senior: Travis Unified School District is definitely above average within Solano County in terms of academics. Due to the large influx of military families, there is great diversity within the community.
    Specifically at Vanden High School, the social worker Kenleen Pringle is able to accommodate to the emotional and social means of each student she comes across. As Vanden exudes open-mindedness and community awareness, many teachers, especially Kylie Negin and Jennifer Ault are at the utmost concern for the mental health of their students.
    With resources such as the tutoring center and library open until later hours, every student's academic needs are met substantially.
    Travis Unified School District is by far the most giving and motivated school district to help students become college bound, and definitely career ready.

  3. Vacaville Unified School District

    • School District
    • Vacaville, CA
    • 26 reviews
    #4 Best School Districts in Solano County

    Senior: Currently in the Vacaville unified school district I am going into my senior year at Will C. Wood high school. The school has given me many great advantages such as my joining the Vacaville early college high school program in freshman year and taking college courses through solano with free books, tuition and units. This program was and still is amazing leading me to be one semester away from an AA degree in biology at Solano community college upon graduation. I joined the swim team junior year and the it has been nothing less than amazing. My favorite thing about VUSD is the staffs general interest in your success with a few bad apples in the mix that I personally did not experience too much of. Something I would definitely like to see change is the blinding intensity of some of the AP courses. Certain classes such as AP US history require a relentless 1,400 flash cards while they rarely use them just to get the point across that the expectations are higher for college credit.

  4. River Delta Joint Unified School District

    • School District
    • Rio Vista, CA
    • 2 reviews

    Senior: What I love about this district is that we are such a close community. All of the Rio Vista kids are so involved in community service since it is very promoted across town. All the student have known each other since we were 5 or younger so it makes this school a safe atmosphere. The Avid program in my school is very strong and run by one of the best teachers at Rio Vista Highschool.

  5. Dixon Unified School District

    • School District
    • Dixon, CA
    • 21 reviews

    Senior: I have been going to this district for about 5-6 years. When I first arrived, my math level was higher than they had, so I was supposed to be pushed to the next level. However the school district was going to require me to go to the high school through my own transportation which I didn’t have. So I was forced to stay at the lower level. The following year I was place in advanced math, but I basically had to retake it again in high school. Now they have a better system, but it came in after me. At the high school all of the AP and Honors courses are diverse and available to all. The teachers are great within those subjects. The agriculture department is amazing too, I have been provided with so many opportunities. Overall I have had a great experience with this school district.

  6. Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District

    • School District
    • Fairfield, CA
    • 68 reviews

    Senior: I personally liked that Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District provides us with useful technology at the library and even gave every student chrome book to use at School. I think I feel very lucky to be in my Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District and throughout my School Career, it has been a great experience being at School or representing how organized my School district. My School district has not only helped students in their education but also gave students free lunch meals every day so they can eat healthily and stay healthy and strong. I think they do that because of the parent's income is not high enough to the point they can pay for the food each day.

  9. Vallejo City Unified School District

    • School District
    • Vallejo, CA
    • 37 reviews

    Alum: I have been with the Vallejo City Unified School District from kindergarten to the 12th grade and this made me feel like I was part of something good because I was so familiar with how things work in this district. Because Vallejo is part of the Bay Area it has such a wonderful diversity. Vallejo is so diverse that this helps benefit our education system to make it more whole and well-rounded. We accommodate for different types of students/familiies and because of this the district is open to ideas. I met a lady from the district during a volunteer event. The lady says it is a hard job working in the education system, but they are really trying even if the students and teachers don't see that. Vallejo has its good side and bad side like every other town. We really do care about our students safety by having campus safety officers walking around and the district continues to make modifications with safety rules.

    La Petite Ecole - Le Lycee Francais de San Diego

    • Private School
    • San Diego, CA
    • PK, K-8
    • 4 reviews

    Parent: Has been an amazing experience for our child to be immersed in another language and get contextual learning and perform very well in both French and English. Great community of parents, committed teachers and administration. The school is moving, expanding to higher grade levels and heading in very positive direction! Teachers for our child have been excellent. Current location hasn't been great, but the new location for the 2018-2019 school year and on looks to become spectacular!
