Geyserville Elementary, Geyserville CA

Original Research by School Decision on Geyserville Elementary

Geyserville Elementary is a small elementary school serving about a hundred kindergarten through fifth-grade students in an unincorporated wine-country community in Sonoma County's Alexander Valley. The school sits on a campus separate from the historic downtown, part of the Geyserville Educational Park facility shared with a middle and high school on Moody Lane.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial share qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic realities of a region where winery, hospitality, and agricultural work form the backbone of employment. Enrollment is stable across the grade bands, with roughly balanced cohort sizes.

State test results from the most recent school year show proficiency that sits below the midpoint among Sonoma County's districts. In English language arts, about half of third graders reached proficiency, while proficiency dropped sharply in fourth and fifth grade. Math proficiency was much lower: third graders showed some traction, but proficiency rates fell steeply in the upper grades, with very few fourth and fifth graders meeting the standard. Science proficiency in fifth grade was also low. These patterns suggest the school faces meaningful academic headwinds, particularly in mathematics and in the transition to upper elementary. A parent would want to look into what instructional supports or interventions the school has underway in these areas.

Data on English learner enrollment, special education identification, staffing, and attendance was not available, so a fuller picture of school resources and the student population's specific needs remains incomplete. You may want to ask the school directly about English learner support, any reading or math intervention programs, class sizes, and teacher experience.

The community itself is small, rural, and oriented around wine production and tourism. Housing costs are relatively high for a town of this size, and a modest housing development was under review as of early 2026. The downtown retains a walkable Old West character with tasting rooms and restaurants, though most working vineyards lie outside that core. The district recently completed an Innovative Agriculture and Collaborative Education Center at the high school, signaling an investment in career-technical pathways that may eventually benefit students coming up from the elementary grades. The community also approved a general obligation bond to modernize school facilities, with work ongoing.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
