I'm not sure where this area is. Its been a while since I've lived there. I can tell you that I lived on Morning Glory Dr ('91-'96) and never even noticed the refinery was there except that you have to drive by it to get to the Southampton area. I was just up from Matthew Turner school. I still have friends there and have never heard of any problems with the refinery. I never smelt a thing because in Southampton you are up wind of it.
There are refineries all over the area. I wouldn't worry about them as long as you can't smell them. There were some problems way back with some of the refineries in Richmond. I lived in Benicia when Exxon owned the refinery. I think it is owned by Valero now. I think it has been run well and I wouldn't hesitate to live in the area again. In fact I would love to move back there. I'd probably move downtown Benicia though since my son is done school.
Hope this helps. My son was in K, 1,and 2 when we lived there so I cant help you with the high school. I loved Benicia. Good luck to you.
