I had fun going to Napa High. I learned a lot, and could have graduated early, but I chose to graduate with my class. I wish I could go back in time and go to Napa High again.


Posted November 13, 2008

I graduated in 2006. Napa High was my life for 4 years. All of the programs offered there are top of the line. Everything from academics, the arts (particularly drama and music), athletics and other extracurricular activities are amazing. Many NHS students are 2nd and 3rd generation students and are keeping up the legacy on campus. I'm glad to be a part of the Indian tradition and hope that my kids can someday become the 3rd generation of my family to attend!

Napa High is a great school. I have 2 kids going there now and one going next year. Iam very proud of the school. Iam vice pres. of the parent club. We met the 2nd wed. of every month in the libaray. My sons have had a strong education there. They have also enjoyed being in sports. They spent alot of time in sports and it is nice to know they are with coachs who really care about them as a whole person. Winning isn't the only thing but sportsman counts. Schools comes first, grades are important. The teachers work hard and have given alot to their students. Our principal is very excited about her job and the kids come first. This rubs off on to the staff,teachers, vice principals everyone who works there. NAPA HIGH IS THE PLACE FOR A CHILD TO GROW TO A MATURE YOUNG ADULT WITH PRIDE.

Napa High has not been a challenging school for my son. The district has added another week for Christmas vacation to accomadate the Mexican-American communities travels to Mexico for vacation. We are already starting school half way through August and this will shorten an already short summer. The music program is excellent though and my son enjoys being in the Men's Choir. It is too bad the same standard of excellence is not achieved in the classroom. There are very few challengin projects for the students and classroom atmosphere is very lackadaisical in many of his classes.

Great teachers willing to go the extra mile for kids that want to succeed. AP classes offered for college credits. Great counselors able to help kids with college applications and classes to take to get ready. Very happy with our 4 yrs experience with this school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
