Nearly 90 percent of Vacaville Unified 10th-graders, which includes some English learners, passed the California High School Exit Examination last year, school district officials reported.
At the governing board meeting late last week, Jane Luick, an English learner program specialist, told trustees that 89 percent of all sophomores in three district high schools passed the exam, CAHSEE for short, in 2013. The same number passed in 2012, and 85 percent passed in 2011, she said, with members of the district’s English Learners Advisory Committee, or DELAC, standing at her side in the Educational Services Center.
