Located in this district, CA. Serving grades KG through 12.
Travis Unified School District serves a student population spread across Solano County, encompassing communities including Fairfield, Suisun City, Dixon, and Vacaville. The district enrolls students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and operates ten schools, including three middle-school-level institutions and one high school.
Most recently, the district has undertaken a significant structural change. Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, sixth graders transitioned from elementary schools into Golden West Middle School, moving away from a traditional K-6 elementary arrangement. The district built a new six-classroom wing to accommodate this shift and hired additional staff, including specialized middle-school teachers who work under a core instruction model that minimizes the number of teachers a student encounters daily. For families with children approaching this transition, the move affects both where middle school begins and the pedagogical model students enter.
Academically, Travis Unified's state test results show moderate performance across grade levels. In English language arts, proficiency ranges from around mid-thirties at the elementary level to the mid-fifties in seventh grade, with eighth grade at mid-forties. Math proficiency is lower across the board, ranging from the low thirties to low forties. Science proficiency data is more limited and sits in the low forties for fifth grade and near thirty for eighth. Overall proficiency across all tested subjects and grades places the district in the top quartile among Solano County's districts, a meaningful strength relative to neighboring districts in the region.
The student body is diverse. Asian students make up a significant share, while Hispanic, white, and multiracial students each represent substantial populations. Black students also comprise a notable portion. Data on free-and-reduced-price lunch eligibility and English learner status are not available, so a parent seeking to understand economic or language-support needs in the district would need to contact the schools directly.
Chronic absenteeism in Travis Unified is well below the county median, placing the district again in the top quartile. This is a concrete sign of attendance and engagement. Per-pupil spending sits in the lower range compared to other county districts, a financial fact that may inform questions about resource availability.
The housing market in the district's service area reflects moderate affordability pressures. Home values are roughly stable year-over-year, with some modest decline. Rental costs remain substantial relative to household income. Families considering a move into the district should know that voters approved Measure R, a school facilities bond, in November 2024. This improvement measure funds modernization of classrooms and facilities, roof replacement, and safety upgrades but carries a property-tax cost that will persist annually while bonds are outstanding, a lasting consideration in household budget planning.
The district operates both traditional and alternative pathways. Community day and independent study schools are available alongside the standard track, offering options for students with different needs or circumstances. However, detailed program offerings, course catalogs, and enrichment specifics are not available in this data, so a parent should visit individual school websites or contact the district directly for information about electives, arts, athletics, or career and technical pathways.
