Better than 11% of California elementary schools

Summary

Phillips Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 373 students in the Napa Valley Unified district, located in a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school faces significant hurdles, with student test scores in English, math, and science far below both state and district averages; for example, only about 22% of students are proficient in English and math. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade and is now in the bottom 11% of California elementary schools. This performance is notably lower than many nearby schools in the same district, such as Vichy Elementary and Pueblo Vista Elementary, even when accounting for similar levels of student need. However, Phillips does perform better than some schools with comparable demographics, like McPherson Elementary.

Despite these academic struggles, the school has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by nearly half in two years. It also shows relative strength in supporting its special education students. A key point for further inquiry is that Phillips spends more per student than several higher-performing comparison schools, suggesting that how resources are used may be as important as the amount of funding. The wide range of performance across schools within Napa Valley Unified indicates that while poverty presents real challenges, school-level practices and support systems can make a substantial difference in student outcomes.
