Summary:

Napa Valley Unified includes 26 schools: 16 elementary, four middle, five high schools, and one alternative school, serving students from elementary through high school in Napa Valley. Results at the same grade vary widely: Grade 5 scores span 53 percentage points in math, and Grade 11 scores span 50 points in ELA. The most important takeaway is that students’ reported proficiency differs substantially from one school to another.

Several schools stand out in the 2025–2026 results. At Grade 5, Northwood and Vichy tie for top ELA results at 67%; Northwood leads science at 56%, while Pueblo Vista leads math at 59%. Northwood’s science result is 20 points above the state result; Shearer, lowest in Grade 5 math at 8%, is 29 points below the state. In Grade 8, Unidos leads ELA and science, while American Canyon Middle leads math; Silverado is lowest in all three subjects. At Grade 11, American Canyon High leads every subject, including ELA at 62%—5 points above the state—while Valley Oak High is lowest in all three, with ELA at 12%, 45 points below the state.

Recent results are mixed: average school results fell 1 point in ELA, rose 2 points in math, and rose 3 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. The average school moved about 2 points farther behind the state in ELA; math narrowed its gap by about 1 point, while science fell about 1 point farther behind. Individual changes also diverged: New Technology High gained 10 points in ELA, while Vichy fell 9. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings also moved unevenly: Napa Junction rose from 50 to 59 over three years, while Vichy went from 81 to 78. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 42% at Vichy and 91% at Shearer, alongside sharply different Grade 5 results; these figures describe school context, not the cause of outcomes. Attendance is another point of contrast: Valley Oak’s chronic absenteeism was 60%, compared with 6% at Pueblo Vista.
