Summary

Saint Helena Elementary is a well-regarded public school serving about 230 students in grades 3 through 5 in the heart of Napa Valley's wine country, part of the Saint Helena Unified district.

The school consistently earns high marks, ranking above 80% of elementary schools in California, with particularly strong results in math. It stands out for supporting all students effectively, as seen in the strong performance of various student groups and an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 9%, which is less than half the state average. Compared to some smaller, nearby rural schools like Pope Valley Elementary or Howell Mountain Elementary—which face significant challenges despite high spending—Saint Helena Elementary demonstrates efficient use of its resources to deliver reliable, high-quality education.

While a top performer like Austin Creek Elementary in the Rincon Valley Union Elementary district scores higher, Saint Helena Elementary provides a consistently strong and stable learning environment. Parents should note a district-wide pattern where math scores dip in 5th grade, an area the school is likely addressing. Overall, the school's decade-long record of stability, its recent success with English Learners, and the strong foundation provided by its sister school, Saint Helena Primary, make it a pillar of the community.
