Summary:

Napa, California is served by 25 public schools across multiple districts, primarily the Napa Valley Unified district, educating roughly 11,500 students from kindergarten through high school, including traditional, alternative, and independent study programs.

Academic performance varies widely across the district, with standout elementary schools like Vichy Elementary and Northwood Elementary achieving high state rankings, while others such as McPherson Elementary and Snow Elementary face significant academic challenges. At the middle school level, Unidos Middle is the top performer, and among high schools, Vintage High leads the comprehensive schools, though all district high schools maintain graduation rates above the state average.

Key challenges for the area include district-wide struggles in mathematics proficiency and high chronic absenteeism at alternative schools like Valley Oak High. However, schools like Pueblo Vista Elementary demonstrate strong outcomes with very low absenteeism, showing that effective local practices can lead to success.
