Summary

Napa High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Napa Valley Unified School District, with an enrollment of 1,642 students, and it serves a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

While the school excels at helping students graduate, with a rate over 91%, and has made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, academic proficiency in core subjects is a significant concern. For example, only about 19% of students are proficient in math, which is notably lower than nearby schools like American Canyon High and Angelo Rodriguez High. This performance gap exists even though Napa High receives similar per-student funding as other schools in its district, indicating that resources are being allocated but may not yet be translating into higher test scores.

Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has declined from the 70th to the 50th percentile. Performance varies widely among different student groups, with some subgroups performing much stronger than others. It's important to note that Napa High provides substantially better outcomes than alternative schools in the area, such as Valley Oak High. Recent increases in funding and a notable recovery in special education performance are positive signs that the school is working to address its challenges.
