Summary:
ZIP code 95441 has three schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: Geyserville Elementary (K–5), Geyserville New Technical Academy (grades 6–12), and Buena Vista High (grades 9–12). The latest results show sharply different academic profiles among the schools with scores: the elementary school’s ELA and math results were above the state, while the Academy’s were well below. The most important finding is that results vary substantially by school and subject, rather than showing one consistent academic picture across the area.
Geyserville Elementary stands out at the top of the 2025–2026 results: 51% were proficient in ELA and 49% in math, compared with 21% and 13% at the Academy—a school-to-school gap of 30 percentage points in ELA and 36 in math. The elementary school was 2 points above the state in ELA and 10 above in math; the Academy was 28 points below the state in ELA and 25 below in math. Science was the shared weakness: results were 20% at the elementary school and 7% at the Academy, both below the state’s 36%. Buena Vista High has eight students but no supplied test scores, so it cannot be placed in the current score standings.
Recent trends also favor Geyserville Elementary: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its ELA rose 6 percentage points and math rose 25, while science slipped 1. The Academy declined in all three subjects: ELA fell 17 points, math 6, and science 17. SchoolDigger rankings also show lower percentile standing over the listed years: the Academy moved from the 80th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 29th in 2025–2026, and the elementary school from the 61st in 2023–2024 to the 40th. As context, in 2024–2025 the Academy’s student-teacher ratio was 10.2 and its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 55%; the elementary school’s ratio was 17.8 and its share was 58%. These are observations, not explanations for the score differences. Buena Vista’s free/reduced lunch eligible figure was 67% in 2022–2023, so it is from a different school year.
