Vintage High School is a comprehensive high school with a student body of over 2,300. It is one of two comprehensive high schools in the Napa Valley Unified School District, which in addition, has a small technology high school New Technology High School, an alternative private Catholic high school Justin-Siena High School, and four comprehensive middle schools fed by 21 elementary schools. Assignment of students to the high schools is determined by the elementary area in which the student resides.

Over the past six years Vintage High School has experienced significant growth. Established in 1972, the school is celebrating over 30 years of excellence. Having been in the forefront of the school improvement movement in 1976, Vintage is solidly involved in the implementation of a sophisticated technology plan. In 1996, the California Department of Education recognized Vintage as a California Distinguished High School. In 1997, Vintage was selected as a California Department of Education Digital High School. Vintage has also received a California Distinguished High School award in 2009.

Approximately 50 percent of any graduating class continues their education at a four-year college or university. An additional 45 percent generally enroll in some form of post-secondary education, either at Napa Valley College, other community colleges, or trade/technical schools.
