Summary

Valley Oak High is a small public high school serving 155 students in grades 10-12 within the Napa Valley Unified School District in Napa, California, and it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of schools statewide.

The school's academic performance is substantially lower than nearby comprehensive high schools like Napa High and Vintage High. For example, while 0% of Valley Oak students are proficient in math, proficiency rates at surrounding schools range from 13% to 36%. The school also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 64.7%, which is more than triple the rate at other district high schools and likely contributes to these academic struggles. Its graduation rate of 78.9% is notably lower than the 92% to 99% rates seen at neighboring schools.

Valley Oak High operates with much higher per-student funding ($24,923) and a lower student-teacher ratio than other schools, which may reflect its specialized role. Its profile is similar to other small, alternative schools in the area such as Creekside High and Camille Creek Community, suggesting it may serve students who need a different educational setting. This context is important when considering its performance metrics, as the school appears to be focused on supporting a high-needs population.
