Summary

Prestwood Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 275 students in the Sonoma Valley Unified district, ranking solidly in the middle of all California elementary schools.

Within its own district, Prestwood is the clear academic leader, outperforming other local schools like Flowery Elementary, El Verano Elementary, and Sassarini Elementary in English, math, and science. A key advantage is its smaller class size, with an 18-to-1 student-teacher ratio that is significantly better than other schools in the area. The school also operates efficiently, achieving these stronger results with lower per-student spending than several nearby schools.

While leading locally, Prestwood's statewide ranking has declined over the past two years, and it trails some higher-performing schools in the neighboring Napa Valley Unified district, such as Northwood Elementary and Pueblo Vista Elementary, particularly in mathematics. The school faces a challenge with a sharp drop in math scores in the upper grades and needs to address performance gaps for economically disadvantaged students to improve its standing.
