Howell Mountain Elementary

Tucked into the forested hills above the Napa Valley, Angwin is a quiet, close-knit community that feels a world away from the valley floor's wine country bustle — home to Pacific Union College and a largely Adventist community that gives the area a distinctly wholesome, small-town character. Howell Mountain Elementary serves a tight-knit student body across K-8, which can be a real draw for families who value continuity and a slower pace over the competitive intensity of larger schools. It's a good fit for families already rooted in the Angwin community or those seeking rural mountain living with a strong sense of shared values.
