Overview
Solid. Rincon Valley is higher than most California middle schools on test results. Rincon Valley is lower than most on attendance.
Test results, spring 2026
Showing up, 2025–26
7.9% of students (59 of 747) were suspended at least once in 2025–26, against 3.7% at the average California middle school.
Each bar is Rincon Valley’s place among 2,529 California public middle schools we score. Our calculation from California Department of Education records, updated October 15, 2026.
A place counts the schools out of 100 with a lower figure. The dashed line is the middle. Test results are from spring 2026, grades 6–8. Attendance counts students who missed 10% or more of school days; fewer is better, so a higher place means fewer such students.

Each gap is to the same group, grades and subject: in Santa Rosa High, and across California. No group that is behind across California does 10 or more points better here.
Homeless students: fewer than 30 tested here. No published rate here for Black or African American, Filipino, American Indian or Alaska Native, Pacific Islander and military-family students and foster youth. That can reflect privacy rules or small numbers; it isn’t evidence of a gap. This table covers groups by income, race or ethnicity, language and disability; girls and boys aren’t split out.

Getting in
Ask Santa Rosa High which school serves your address.

Not a next step: the school sharing this address. Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter has the same street address in the state’s school directory.

Links do not guarantee placement. Charter, magnet, transfer and other admission routes can differ. Each school’s percentile compares it with California schools at its own level (continuation and alternative schools only with their own kind); the stages are not one ranking. Older zone links come from the federal School Attendance Boundary Survey (NCES SABS).
The road from this school ends at Maria Carrillo High. UC records 30 enrollees from Maria Carrillo High for fall 2025. The AP Course Audit lists 19 AP courses its teachers are authorized to teach in 2025–26. Those figures come from dated records. A child starting here today would reach Maria Carrillo High around 2028, and a school can change a lot in 2 years. By the state’s 2023 count, 81% of the students who finished high school at Maria Carrillo High enrolled in college within 12 months, UC or not.

Index is where the school's value sits among the California middle schools we score, from 0 to 100, where 50 is their average; it is not a percentile. School values are from 2025–26. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average, so their index can sit nearer 50 than the rate suggests. The weights above add to 80%: the remaining 20%, for measures with no value here, is shared out among the measures above.
