Summary

Silverado Middle serves 673 students in grades 6–8 in Napa, within Napa Valley Unified. Its most important challenge is low achievement across all three tested subjects: in 2025–26, about 30% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 18% in math and 19% in science, below both state and district rates in every subject. The gap is especially clear in science, where Silverado had the lowest result among 10 nearby schools.

Compared with nearby schools, Silverado was third-lowest in ELA, sixth-lowest in math and lowest in science; its results were also below nearby-school averages of 40% in ELA, 24% in math and 28% in science. Seventh-grade math is a relative bright spot: 24% were proficient, about 8 points higher than Silverado’s sixth- and eighth-grade results, and above results at five nearby schools. But it remained below the district’s 30% and state’s 38% for seventh grade. Eighth-grade math was a particular weakness at 16%, higher than only one nearby school, Matt Garcia Career and College Academy. Silverado’s science result, 19%, was also below the next-lowest nearby result, 19% at Crystal Middle.

Scores have improved since 2022–23—by about 5 points in ELA, 2 in math and 5 in science—but the state gap has widened in math and science. Silverado is ranked 2,160th of 2,703 California schools by SchoolDigger, at the 20th percentile with 1 star; among the 10 nearby schools, its percentile rank is sixth-lowest. Context includes a comparatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.8 in 2024–25, second-lowest among those schools, and 80% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the group’s second-highest rate. Chronic absenteeism was 28% in 2025–26, down 9 points since 2022–23 but above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves homeless students fell to the 3rd percentile in 2025–26, from the 56th percentile the prior year; its English Language Learner Students’ ranking reached the 33rd percentile in 2023–24, compared with the schoolwide 19th percentile that year.
