Summary:
Zip code 95441 in Geyserville, California, is served by three small public schools within the Geyserville Unified district, offering education from kindergarten through 12th grade in a rural community with significant economic need.
The standout school is Geyserville New Technical Academy, which serves grades 6-12 and has shown remarkable recent improvement, achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate and zero dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages. However, it faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism at 31% and test scores in core subjects that generally trail state averages. In comparison, Geyserville Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate but has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, while the very small Buena Vista High reports no chronic absenteeism but lacks recent performance data.
Key takeaways for parents include the district's strength in supporting students to graduation but a consistent weakness in mathematics proficiency across all schools. Performance can vary dramatically between different grade levels within the same school. The district's small size means each school has a very close-knit environment with favorable student-teacher ratios, but resources are allocated differently, with spending per student varying widely between the high schools.
