Our District

Pope Valley Union Elementary District School is a single-school district in northern Napa County, California. We teach our students in small, shared classrooms with highly-qualified teachers and instructional aides, which allows us to focus on meeting each student’s individual needs and personalizing our instruction to meet those needs.

At Pope Valley, we believe education is a shared responsibility, and we encourage our community to get involved.
