Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I disagree with that last poster, however the principal has announced she is leaving, so the 2012-2013 school year will have another new principal, which is hard on the school. But working in an Expeditionary Learning Charter School is very hard work, so I hope the next principal understands that and is willing to stay for the long haul. I love the school as does my student. I think it is the best public school option in Vallejo because of the Expeditionary Learning model, the family volunteer component and the art and dance program, which our families fundraise for each year. I also love the sense of community at VCS.

The principal was ABSOLUTELY deficient in leadership and social skills. Most of the teachers appeared to be proficient but they were demoralized and frustrated by an overbearing and tone-deaf principal (I had the misfortune of landing in the classroom of the two worst teachers for my child's grade level). Parent participation was forced, mandatory, and quite cliqueish-I would show up, sign in, and leave after my presence had been noted-I WAS MISERABLE! I pulled my child out of that school as fast as I could run after one year-I would have left at the end of the first month if it had been possible and there were several other parents who followed suit. Due to GreatSchools Rules of Use I can not name the principal & teacher who contributed to the miserable experience that I and a few other parents suffered through but I will say that we were there during the 2010-2011 school year-WHAT AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE!!!

My son loves it here. I love it. The way learning is implemented through expeditional learning makes it fun and exciting for the kids. We are very fortunate to be part of this wonderful community.

VCS is a school that was pioneered by parents that wanted a better education in a California that has failed to make education a priority. VCS has also overcome the odds of residing in a bankrupt city while still increasing the school's API score by 8.5%. This is a school that teaches that all students, faculty and parents are 'crew members, not passengers' and truly lives up to that statement. I'm proud that my daughter attends VCS as it represents that we do have the power to go against the grain and beat the odds.

Vallejo Charter School is made of dedicated parents, teachers and staff that go above & beyond to ensure the success of our school. The Expeditionary Learning at our school makes a big impact on our children's education that is reflected in their respect for one another and the involvement in our diversed community. I am so grateful my children and my family are a part of this school.

Vallejo Charter School is a wonderful place for children, families, and staff to grow and learn together. If I could have designed a school, it would have been this one. The Design Principles guide us to help not only our school, but our community and world.

We have been at the school since the first day and have two children at the school. Our daughter hates being sick and missing a day of school!

A great group of parents that know what it takes to make a school great.
—Submitted by a parent
My kids used to be in a private school. It was just the perfect timing having a charter school here in Vallejo. We went to the orientation 2 1/2 years ago and felt it was a perfect place for our kids! It was at a temporary site, so it was not even because of the facility, but what the school believes in, its goals, its positive outlook. We loved and we are glad to be in this VCS family! Would I recommend it to my family and friends, definitely! Thank you for the opportunity!!! Go VCS!!!! Go Vallejo Charter School!

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
