Summary

Calistoga Junior/Senior High is a public school serving about 355 students in grades 7-12 in the Calistoga Joint Unified district, a small community in California's wine country.

The school has a significant strength in keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, with a 96.7% graduation rate and very low chronic absenteeism at 14.6%, both of which are better than the state average and notably better than nearby schools like Middletown High (30% chronic absenteeism). However, academic proficiency in core subjects like math and science is below state averages, creating a contrast with its high graduation success. The school's performance has also been volatile, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly from year to year.

Calistoga operates with a high level of resources, spending over $30,000 per student—considerably more than many neighboring schools such as Maria Carrillo High—and has a low student-teacher ratio. It serves a student population where economic disadvantage is very common. When compared to schools in other districts like Saint Helena Unified, Calistoga's academic outcomes lag, particularly in mathematics, suggesting the school faces unique challenges in translating its resources and strong student support into higher test scores.
