Summary:
The Napa Valley Unified School District in California is home to 16 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th or 8th grade. These schools are located across the cities of Napa and American Canyon, and the data reveals significant performance disparities among them.
A few schools stand out as high-performing, including Vichy Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the district and state, and Northwood Elementary, which has strong academic results and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Another top-performing school is Browns Valley Elementary, which has impressive proficiency rates, particularly in 3rd grade Mathematics and English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals substantial performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, with factors such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic status appearing to play a significant role. Schools with the highest percentages of low-income students, such as McPherson Elementary and Snow Elementary, tend to have the lowest proficiency rates. Addressing these challenges and replicating the practices of the highest-performing schools could be a valuable strategy for the Napa Valley Unified district to improve overall educational outcomes.
