Napa County Community

Summary:

Napa County Community is a small alternative public school in Napa, California that serves grades K-12, with an enrollment of just 87 students. The data paints a concerning picture of the school's performance, with significantly lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and poorer academic achievement compared to nearby alternative schools and the state as a whole.

For example, Briones (Alternative) had a 93.8% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023, while Napa County Community's rates ranged from just 36.7% to 56.5% over the past several years. Napa County Community also struggles with very high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 53.2% to 62.3% over the past five years, much higher than the 31% rate at Briones (Alternative) and the 36.4% rate at Elite Public. On standardized tests, only 12.5% of Napa County Community's 11th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 55.73% statewide.

The data suggests that Napa County Community is serving a high-need student population, with 82.76% to 86.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, much higher than the rates at Briones (Alternative) (45.76%) and Elite Public (61.85%). While the school's struggles are concerning, its status as an alternative institution serving a high-need population suggests that a more nuanced understanding of the school's context and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
