Summary:
The Napa Valley Unified School District operates five diverse high schools serving grades 9-12 (with one serving 10-12), educating over 5,500 students in California's renowned wine country region.
Among these schools, American Canyon High stands out for its strong academic performance, with the highest state ranking and proficiency rates in English and math, coupled with a high graduation rate and low chronic absenteeism. Vintage High also excels in student outcomes, boasting the district's lowest dropout rate and a very high graduation rate. New Technology High, a smaller school, achieves the highest graduation rate of all, while Napa High shows a solid performance profile within the district.
The district includes a distinct alternative option, Valley Oak High, which is much smaller, has a lower student-teacher ratio, and serves a population with greater needs, reflected in different academic and attendance metrics. A key takeaway for parents is the notable variation in academic results, particularly in mathematics where all schools perform below the state average, though American Canyon High comes closest. The Napa Valley Unified district as a whole ranks near the middle compared to others in the state, indicating a mix of strengths and areas for growth across its high schools.
