Summary:
Napa High is a public high school located in Napa, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,762 students. The school faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a large population of socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
Napa High has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (75.14%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 37.4% to 62.64% Hispanic students. This is an important factor to consider when analyzing the school's performance, as the academic performance of Hispanic students is lower compared to their White and Multi-racial peers. For example, in 2022-2023, the proficiency rate in English Language Arts/Literacy for Hispanic students was 1,154 out of 2,132 California high schools, while for White students, it was 437 out of 1,424 California high schools. Additionally, Napa High's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 51.36% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 18.16% proficient or better in Mathematics.
While Napa High's four-year graduation rate of 94.1% in 2022-2023 is comparable to the nearby schools, its dropout rate of 2.6% is higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 1.2% to 1.4%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.9% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 20.7% to 27.9%. Furthermore, Napa High has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (72.64%), which is higher than the surrounding schools, such as Vintage High (69.38%) and American Canyon High (49.88%). These factors may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance and declining performance over time, as evidenced by its drop from a 4-star to a 3-star rating from Napa Valley Unified School District.
