Summary:
The Saint Helena Unified district consists of five small schools serving grades K-12, with a total enrollment around 1,100 students, and it ranks among the top 25% of districts statewide for academic performance.
Among the schools, Saint Helena High stands out as the district's strongest performer, boasting a 94% graduation rate and English scores well above the state average, while Saint Helena Elementary also excels with impressive math and English proficiency. In contrast, Robert Louis Stevenson Intermediate shows lower test scores, particularly in math, highlighting a common middle school challenge. The specialized Saint Helena Opportunities Program serves a very small group with intensive resources.
Key strengths across the district include exceptionally low student absenteeism and English language arts performance that consistently beats state averages. A notable area for attention is a district-wide decline in math scores from elementary to high school. Overall, parents can expect a cohesive, high-performing district with a particularly strong high school, though math support in the middle grades may be an important consideration.
