Summary

Valley Oak High is a small high school in Napa, California, serving grades 10–12 with 155 students in Napa Valley Unified. The most important concern is very low proficiency across all three tested subjects: in 2025–2026, 12% of students were proficient in English language arts, 0% in math and 4% in science.

Results are far below district and state levels, though science is the subject where the gaps are least severe: science proficiency was 4%, compared with 29% in the district and 36% statewide; the school was also 25 points below its district and 32 below the state. ELA was 12%, versus 44% in the district and 49% statewide, and about 35 points below the nearby-school average of 47%. Math was 0%, compared with a nearby average of 20%; that result tied with Camille Creek Community for the lowest reported nearby result. Nearby averages include only schools with reported results. Attendance is another major concern: 60% of Valley Oak students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, versus 18% in both the district and state.

Some results have improved, but not consistently. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose from 6% to 12% and science from 2% to 4%, while math fell from 2% to 0% and has remained there for three reported years. Chronic absenteeism declined from 73% in 2021–2022, but remains much higher than comparison rates. SchoolDigger ranked Valley Oak 1,985th of 2,137 schools statewide in 2025–2026, at the 7th percentile with 0 stars. Context includes a 15.5:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025—the lowest among its same-district comparisons—and 88% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest among nearby schools reporting the same measure. The reported dropout rate was 1% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 2% and the state’s 8%, while the graduation rate was 80%, below the district’s 96% and the state’s 88%.
