Summary

Napa High is a public high school in Napa, California, serving grades 9–12 in the Napa Valley Unified district, with 1,642 students. Its graduation and attendance results are strong, but mathematics is the clearest concern: in 2025–2026, 14% of students were proficient in math, 25 percentage points below the state and 18 below the district.

English is the school’s strongest tested subject relative to the state and district: 49% were proficient, just 0.3 points below the state and 5 points above the district. However, nearby results were higher at American Canyon High, Vintage High and Angelo Rodriguez High. Math was also below those schools, though above Valley Oak High. Science proficiency was 24%, 12 points below the state and 5 below the district. Graduation is a bright spot: 97%, compared with 88% statewide and 96% in the district.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, English fell from 51% to 49% and math from 18% to 14%; science edged up from 23% to 24%, while its gap with the state widened from 7 to 12 points. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, near the nearby-school average of 41 but below the group’s median of 51. In 2024–2025, 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 22.9, compared with a nearby-school average of 20.8. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Migrant Students fell from the 29th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 9th in 2025–2026, well below the school’s overall 42nd percentile; its Homeless Students ranking was at the 5th percentile in 2025–2026. Nearby schools include alternative programs, so comparisons may not be like-for-like.
