Vacaville Unified School District is proud to announce that Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy (BCCA) has been named the #1 high school in Vacaville and ranked #3 in the Vallejo Metropolitan Area according to U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best High Schools rankings.
The rankings are based on multiple measures of student success, including college readiness, state assessment performance, achievement among underserved student populations, breadth of college curriculum, and graduation rates.
“Buckingham’s recognition reflects the incredible dedication of its staff, students, and families, and the strength of our district as a whole,” said Ed Santopadre, Superintendent of Vacaville USD. “This honor reinforces our belief that we’re more than a diploma here in Vacaville. We’re committed to preparing every student for success in college, career, and life.”
“We are honored to be recognized among the best high schools,” said Samantha Working, Principal of Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy. “As a charter school within Vacaville Unified, we’re proud to offer both the close-knit feel of a small school and the wide range of opportunities, academic excellence, athletics, arts, and career pathways that prepare students for college and beyond.”
U.S. News & World Report evaluated nearly 18,000 public high schools across the nation for this year’s rankings. Schools are measured on how well they serve all students and prepare them for post-secondary success.
