Napa Valley Unified

Summary:

The Napa Valley Unified school district in California's wine country consists of 26 schools, including 16 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district's schools vary widely in their academic performance and student demographics, with some standout performers like American Canyon High School and Canyon Oaks Elementary contrasting with lower-performing schools like Shearer Elementary and McPherson Elementary.

American Canyon High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the district, ranking 664 out of 2,335 California high schools and boasting a 95.9% graduation rate and a low 1.4% dropout rate. Canyon Oaks Elementary and Vichy Elementary are also high-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top quarter of California elementary schools and receiving 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. In contrast, schools like Shearer Elementary and McPherson Elementary struggle with low proficiency rates and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

The Napa Valley Unified district also faces challenges with socioeconomic disparities, as several schools have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The district should focus on addressing these inequities and learning from its top-performing schools to improve educational outcomes across the board.
