Napa Valley Unified

The Napa Valley Unified School District consists of 26 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves the Napa Valley region, known for its world-renowned wineries and vibrant agricultural community. While the district has several standout schools, such as American Canyon High School and Vichy Elementary, there are also significant disparities in performance and outcomes across the schools.

The data reveals that some schools, like American Canyon High School and Vichy Elementary, consistently rank among the top in the district and state, with high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong test scores. In contrast, schools like Valley Oak High and Shearer Elementary struggle with exceptionally poor performance across multiple metrics, including low test scores, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism.

The data also suggests a potential correlation between schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and lower academic performance, indicating that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in student outcomes. By learning from the highest-performing schools and implementing targeted interventions for the lowest-performing ones, the Napa Valley Unified School District could work to provide a more equitable and high-quality education for all students.
