Mathematics

Preparing students for college, careers, and life through a positive math mindset

Using the power of inquiry-based math instruction — the ability to integrate knowledge, skills, and concepts to solve real-world problems — teachers are able to transform their classrooms and provide students with new ways to discover, understand, and apply math.

The Challenge

Achievement in mathematics is one of the top predictors of success in college.

Only 34% of students in Napa County are at or above grade level in mathematics.

On average, there is an annual 3% increase in the number of students who are at or above grade level in math, meaning this requires a long-term investment.
