Summary:
The Saint Helena Unified school district in Napa County's wine country operates two elementary schools: Saint Helena Primary for grades K-2 and Saint Helena Elementary for grades 3-5, together serving 422 students.
Saint Helena Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with student proficiency in English and Math significantly above the state average, and it has consistently earned a 4-star rating. Saint Helena Primary excels in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate less than half the state average, and it operates with a lower student-teacher ratio. A notable difference between the two is per-student spending, which is substantially higher at the Primary school.
Both schools in the district share commendably low absenteeism rates, indicating a positive school climate. While academic data is only available for the upper elementary grades, it shows a pattern of strength in English Language Arts across third through fifth grades. However, a sharp decline in fifth-grade math scores at Saint Helena Elementary is an area the district is likely monitoring. Overall, the elementary schools in Saint Helena Unified are high-performing institutions with excellent student attendance.
