Summary:
This analysis covers seven schools in zip code 94559, located in Napa, California, serving grades K-12 across three elementary schools, one middle school, and three high schools, primarily within the Napa Valley Unified district.
Among these schools, Alta Heights Elementary stands out as the top performer with the highest test scores and lower chronic absenteeism, while Shearer Elementary faces significant academic challenges. The data shows a clear pattern where schools with higher rates of economic disadvantage tend to have lower test scores. A notable concern is the sharp drop in math proficiency in middle grades, as seen at Shearer, indicating potential challenges as students advance.
The high schools present a mixed picture: New Technology High achieves an exceptional 98.7% graduation rate despite weaker math scores, whereas Camille Creek Community struggles with extremely high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, despite having the highest per-student spending. The two smallest schools, Camille Creek and Crossroads Academy, represent extremes in student engagement, with Crossroads reporting 0% chronic absenteeism. Overall, the district performs below state averages, with significant disparities in resources and outcomes across the zip code.
