Best Public Schools in Napa, CA


Summary:

The city of Napa, California is home to 24 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Napa Valley Unified School District. The district is ranked 882 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the district as a whole faces some challenges, several standout schools demonstrate strong academic performance, including Vichy Elementary, Browns Valley Elementary, and Northwood Elementary, all of which have 4-star ratings and rank in the top 30% of California elementary schools.

Among the high schools, Vintage High and New Technology High stand out with 3-star ratings and strong performance on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the district also faces significant challenges, with wide variations in graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism across the schools. Some schools, like Shearer Elementary and McPherson Elementary, struggle to meet state standards on assessments.

The data suggests that the Napa Valley Unified School District may need to address equity and resource allocation issues to ensure more consistent outcomes across all schools. Addressing chronic absenteeism, particularly at the secondary level, could also be a key focus for the district. The variation in performance across school types, from traditional public schools to public charter schools and alternative schools, presents an opportunity for collaboration and sharing of best practices to help raise overall academic achievement in the district.
