Public schools in Solano County are the most ethnically diverse among mid-size metro areas in the United States, a new study finds. But, this is nothing new to those who work in the Vallejo City Unified School District, one official here said.

Danny Dockterman, the Chief Methodologist of The School Review (www.theschoolreview.com), described the agency as being “dedicated to providing parents with greater transparency into their child’s local schools through comprehensive data and equitable report cards.”

The group grades schools on academics, learning environment and school safety using data from the National Center for Education Statistics, the Civil Rights Data Collection and state departments of education, he said.
