💪 Strong All-Around · Solid
ranked #396 statewide · #1 of 5 in Ukiah Unified
Redwood Collegiate Academy scores 58 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 82nd percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “54% proficient” and call it done. Redwood Collegiate Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Ukiah, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Redwood Collegiate Academy's low-income kids hit 57.1% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.
As a charter, Redwood Collegiate Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
