Senior: I transferred to Benicia High from Vallejo High School because my Mom wanted me to get a better education and I definitely did. The people are friendly and most of my teachers actually cared about the students and wanted to teach. I love a lot of the teachers I met while studying at Benicia High and I feel like they really try their best to try to set their students up for success after high school. I just wish they would provide more resources in terms of scholarships and internship opportunities and make their resources more well-known. Although overall, it is a great school with so many great teachers.... Read 22 reviews

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.... Read 16 reviews

  Rating 4.03 out of 5  36 reviews

Sophomore: The Vacaville Unified School District has been giving plenty of opportunities for their students. They have hired amazing counselors and staff that are always there to help students when wanted and/or needed. From personal experience, the staff has always gone out their way to provide students with information on clubs, sports, summer internships, and even more. My school, Vacaville High School, has never failed to keep it’s students updated on events and opportunities that may help us in the long run.... Read 36 reviews

Sophomore: Transferring from a different school district to the Fairfield-Suisun School District really showed me how much this district has to offer. First off, I could automatically tell that there was a huge difference in diversity, as this district has lots of it. It made me feel safer about going to school in a district where there were others that looked like me. They also have a wide variety of honors and AP courses provided for students who would like to participate in a more fast-paced and advanced learning environment. Even more, they have a lot of options when it comes to playing sports. They offer sports including the basics such as basketball and football, while also creating golf and waterpolo sports teams. I take pride in the resources the students are given from our administrators. They allow us to pursue our aspirations by nudging us in the right direction. Overall, I think attending the Fairfield-Suisun School District would be a great decision due to diversity in many aspects.... Read 81 reviews

  Rating 3.7 out of 5  37 reviews

Senior: I entered the Dixon Unified School District in 2020 and from it I have had nothing but positive experiences. With Covid on the loose and everything in a flurry, I believe this district handled this chaotic situation quite well. Whilst the transition to Zoom was odd and unheard of, students and faculty combined truly did appear to put all efforts in to making the transition as smooth as possible. Now, in my senior year of 2022, I am beyond happy to see the push towards staying in school and allowing us to have that high school experience we all desire so badly. With all this being said I would have to comment on the lack of distributed funds throughout the district. I have found that among nearly all the schools in the district, technology is extremely outdated, creating a learning gap and quite a disadvantage from one district to another. While I know much of this can be attributed to covid, it has presumably been the lead to extreme under staffing and under funding.... Read 37 reviews

Alum: Delta High School, nestled in wine country and away from the big city. Delta was the small school shown in movies, where teachers knew every student and all students were friends with one another. We have an amazing agriculture culture, with the Future Farmers of American having a big presence. Additionally, we had very strong art classes. There is nothing like having the ability to be close to your teachers and having that 1-on-1 experience.... Read 6 reviews

Senior: I like the diversity in Vallejo High School. There’s no discrimination or whatsoever. I feel included because I have a lot of peers that I can relate to. However, I would like for my school to find a solution for the fighting problem and the lack of qualified teachers.... Read 49 reviews
