Worth knowing

At 72 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California high school (≈1450).

On the state's science test (CAST), 0% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed in the last two years, and what the school is asking families for. Growth shows up in these numbers a year or two after it shows up in classrooms.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
  • Ask what typically leads to a suspension, and what happens before it gets there.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is North Valley High a good high school?
North Valley High has a Scope Score of 3 out of 100, placing it in the bottom percentile of California continuation high schools and ranked #338 in that group. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. 1.3% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 18.5 percentage points below the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are North Valley High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 2.5% of students at North Valley High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 1.3% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 1.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 1.3% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 79 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does North Valley High rank among California continuation high schools?
North Valley High ranks #338 among California continuation high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the bottom percentile. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at North Valley High?
81.2% of students at North Valley High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 20.1%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does North Valley High compare to other schools in Anderson?
North Valley High scores 3/100 (bottom percentile) among California continuation high schools. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 72 students. Use the schools in Anderson page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does North Valley High serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At North Valley High in Anderson, 3.7% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 48.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. North Valley High trails its district average for low-income students by 45.2 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (3.9% Math proficient); White students (0.0% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 27 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
