Summary:

Zip code 94515 has three schools serving grades K–12: Calistoga Elementary (K–6), Calistoga Junior/Senior High (7–12), and Palisades High (Continuation) (9–12). In 2025–26, the two schools with reportable all-grades results were nearly tied in ELA, at 43% each, while the elementary school scored higher in math and science. Palisades’ current school-level test results are suppressed, and the all-grades results compare schools serving different grade spans. The clearest overall finding is that math and science results at the junior/senior high school lagged those at the elementary school, while neither school led the state across all-grades subjects.

Calistoga Elementary stands out among schools with reported scores: its 2025–26 all-grades results were 38% in math and 34% in science, compared with 24% and 26% at Calistoga Junior/Senior High—gaps of 14 and 8 percentage points. Both were below state all-grades results, but the elementary school was closer: 1 point below in math and 2 below in science, versus 15 and 10 points below at the high school. Grade-level results also show bright spots: the elementary school was 4 points above the state in sixth-grade ELA and 8 points above in third-grade math. The high school’s 11th-grade ELA was just 1 point below the state, but its seventh-grade ELA and math were 20 and 18 points below. It also had a strong 95% graduation rate, 7 points above the state.

Recent results moved in different directions by school and subject: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, elementary science rose 15 points while math fell 2; at the high school, math rose 4 points and ELA fell 5. SchoolDigger’s rankings improved for both: the elementary school rose to the 52nd percentile from 48th, and the high school to the 55th from 43rd; both now have 3 stars, up from 2. As context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 84% at the elementary school and 88% at the high school, while student–teacher ratios were 16.1 and 14.7, respectively. These measures describe the schools but do not explain their results.
