Summary

Calistoga Elementary is a 405-student K–6 school in Calistoga, California, and its 2025–26 results show a mixed picture: math and science were close to state levels, while English language arts (ELA) fell short. The most important finding is that Calistoga scored below the average of nearby K–6 schools in all three subjects.

Math is Calistoga’s strongest subject relative to the state and its district: its 38% proficiency was about even with California’s 38% and 6 percentage points above the Calistoga Joint Unified result. Science was also relatively close to the state, at 34% compared with 36%, and 5 points above the district. But nearby K–6 schools averaged 39% in science, 51% in math and 55% in ELA; Calistoga’s results were lower by 5, 13 and 12 points, respectively. ELA is the clearest concern against the state, too: Calistoga scored 43%, 6 points below California, though essentially even with its district.

Over four years, ELA improved from 38% to 43%, and math rose from 31% to 38%, despite a 2-point dip in the latest year. Science ended at 34%, about 1 point higher than four years earlier, after dropping to 19% in 2024–25 and rebounding by 15 points. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26. Its 16.1 students per teacher in 2024–25 was below the nearby-school average of 18.2; 84% of students were free/reduced-lunch eligible that year, the highest reported share among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings showed a stronger standing for English Language Learner Students (77th percentile in 2023–24, compared with 51st overall) and a sharp change for Special Education Students, from the 34th percentile in 2023–24 to the 59th in 2024–25.
