Summary

Calistoga Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 405 students in the Calistoga Joint Unified school district, located in a community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school shows notable strengths, particularly in supporting English Language Learners and in mathematics, where its proficiency rate actually exceeds the state average—a significant achievement given the economic challenges many of its students face. When compared to schools with similar student populations, like Pope Valley Elementary or Howell Mountain Elementary, Calistoga Elementary achieves higher academic results. However, the school's science scores are a clear area for improvement, as they fall well below the state average and those of nearby schools such as Madrone Elementary.

While the school invests more money per student than many neighbors, this higher spending hasn't yet led to superior overall academic outcomes compared to some area schools like Austin Creek Elementary. The school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, though it has made progress in reducing chronic absenteeism. For families, the school appears to provide effective support for students learning English and solid math instruction, but may have inconsistent results across different grade levels and student groups.
