Summary

Calistoga Junior/Senior High is a public school in Calistoga, California, serving 355 students in grades 7–12. Its results are mixed: the most important academic concern is all-grades mathematics, which trails both district and state results by more than English language arts or science.

English language arts is the school’s strongest subject against local and state benchmarks: 43% of students were proficient, nearly matching the Calistoga Joint Unified district’s 43% and below the state’s 49%. Mathematics was 24%, compared with 32% districtwide and 38% statewide. But 11th-grade math offers a more encouraging local comparison: Calistoga’s 29.4% proficiency was slightly above the district’s 28.9%, above the 25% average for five nearby traditional high schools, and second among the six schools. Graduation is another bright spot: the rate was 95%, compared with 88% statewide and 96% in the district.

Results have improved most in science, rising from 17% in 2022–2023 to 26% in 2025–2026; its gap with the state narrowed by 3 percentage points, though it remains below the state. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 55th percentile with 3 stars for 2025–2026, fourth among seven nearby schools with a reported rank. Its student-teacher ratio was 14.7 in 2024–2025, the second-lowest among five nearby traditional high schools; Saint Helena High was lower at 13.1. Calistoga reported 88% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the highest share among those nearby traditional schools; this is context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well it serves Migrant Students fell from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 55th in 2024–2025, while its overall percentile was 57 and then 43.
