As there have been less kids coming into the town, there has been less money going into the schools and more consolidation and less focus on learning and creativity but this school really gets it. The teachers and the principal are all fantastic, the kids are well-behaved and eager and intelligent and bright and encouraged to speak up for themselves, and the parents are working class, as opposed to a bunch of hovering helicopter Karen's that will drive you crazy. My kid couldn't be happier going there, they do poetry and art to go along with her academics and the kids are actually nice to each other. What a blessing Have a beautiful day, God bless you, and pay it forward

I recently sat in on one of my son's drum sessions with instructor Albert, and I was honestly so…read moresurprised by how well he could already play. More than that, I've never seen my son this excited and eager to attend a program before. This has been such a great hobby for him, and I really appreciate how Albert has helped teach him not just drums, but also dedication, practice, and confidence while still making it fun. Albert is incredibly patient, and it truly shows in his students. Highly recommend!

They…read moreare like a private school where they have small classes and amazing teachers, as well as the principal and Mrs. Sonia in the office, they are the cherry on top. I've asked the new parents what made them join us at YES and they reported that "in addition to all the amazing benefits of the school [they] joined because of the principal and the staff. They really are one-of-a-kind. They work with each child one-on-one, which really helped my son who can be a handful at times. My daughter came in reading at grade level and by the time she finished she was reading at college level and reading Charles dickens!!!! She even enjoyed reading, I don't know what the school did but they goodness for them. The school utilizes project-based learning just like new tech hiand they provide one on one coaching to the kids so that each kid reaches their highest potential. What I love most about the school is the parent involvement. We've got to several schools and been a part of many PTAs our last school had almost 500 kids in it and the state threatened to shut down the PTA because we only had three volunteers. The school has like 50% involvement rate! End it isn't a requirement to help out it's just happens to be such a cool environment that people naturally chip in and help out. This is also the only school that I have ever been to where the principal helps out as much as she does. She and Sonia, the office admin are the heart of the school. They know everything that's going on and they are happy to help. The other schools we have been to the secretaries are too busy that don't involve themselves in the schools activities. It really makes a difference that anytime I have a question I can go to the office and they help me find the answer. They are also at every school event, supporting everything that we do. The school is like a family! Even the PTA has called family club. You should check it out! Even if you live in Napa you're able to go to this awesome school with open enrollment.

I don't prefer tracks this soft but its free, its well kept and its free. The grass on the field is also very well kept and after school there are kids practicing lacrosse here. The grass is so well kept I was able to do some barefoot running training here after some interval workouts. No shade. And you'll get some red powder stuck to the bottom of your shoes for a short while after running on these kinds of tracks, so if you really really don't want that, I wouldn't wear them here.

I just moved to the area and was trying to enroll my 3rd grader into the school and Mrs. Diane was very unhelpful. She had an attitude from the moment I first calles the office. Her line to me was "I don't know what you want me to tell you" ... Doesn't make it very comfortable to feel that way when your trying to place your 7 year old in a new school. I am a front desk receptionist at my job where we deal with injured workers all day. Do you think if they walked in and I was treating them with that kind of respect, that they would ever want to return? No! The first person you come across sets the tone for the entire workplace ... I am sorry but Mrs. Diane has not set a good tone with me on multiple occasions. I understand its the beginning of school and its busy and frustrating but so is life and if you can't handle it then find a new career. Needless to say I enrolled my son in a completely different school because I would much rather that then have to deal with Mrs. Diane each time I need to deal with the school. I would think really hard Mrs. Dana about finding yourself a new candidate for the front desk....
