Alta Heights Elementary is truly a hidden gem in Napa! The school has such a special sense of community—families are kind, involved, and genuinely care about one another. The principal goes above and beyond to make sure every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to learn. The teachers and staff create a welcoming, inclusive environment where kids thrive both academically and socially. We feel so lucky to be part of such an amazing school that truly puts children first.

Alright I guess it was fun tbh.

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.
