As a task force of schoolteachers, parents and others ponders closing one of Napaâs middle schools amid falling attendance and state funding, a survey of campuses illustrates sometimes sharp differences in their demographics and communities â including for the junior high school briefly targeted for a possible shutdown last fall.
While the Napa Valley Unified School District has an overall glut of hundreds of student spaces, it also faces an imbalance between its recently rebuilt â but difficult to expand â River Middle School in the north, and three-decades-old campuses serving largely lower-income and minority families elsewhere in Napa, according to a study shared with NVUSDâs Middle School Redesign Task Force last week.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic shut-downs, Napa Valley students have continued to create art. Arts Council Napa Valley (ACNV) began 2021 by recognizing 11 students from Calistoga to American Canyon for excellence in the arts.
Each student was singled out by their teacher for âgoing beyond,â âalways showing up,â and most importantly, âinspiring others.â
ACNV judges agreed two studio art students at the high school and middle/elementary levels were deserving of honor, resulting in two ties in that category. Other students were recognized for excellence in choir, theater, digital media, instrumental music and dance.
