I liked it had lots of friends from a diversity of backgrounds they all did well in school.

I was a teacher in a special education classroom. It was the worst teaching experience of my life. The students were warehoused with all the bullies and students with aggressive behaviors in one room. When I tried to utilize administration intervention I was told it was my responsibility and do not refer students to the office. There is no reasonable system of discipline. No detention system. No meaningful positive reinforcements of good behavior. Teachers are on their own and Admin does not support the classroom. I now am in a new school which has shown me how it can be done. They have a difficult population and little parent involvement but they could do better.

Vintage High School is one of the best schools in the Napa Valley Unified School District. I think there is an imbalance between the two main high schools (Napa High has a significantly higher amount of low income students and has a higher need for ELA funding). Not sure if this is based the district boundaries, where Vintage tends to get the wealthier areas. Anyways, Vintage is a great academic institution and has a great English Literature program.
