Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One elementary school: Healdsburg Elementary at 54/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Healdsburg Elementary (54/100) holds the Strong band — 27.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 27.4%. 1 school here ranks as a Growth Engine — returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide.
One campus is the whole sample — a single year's cohort moves every number in this chapter.
The middle years
One middle school: Healdsburg Junior High at 39/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Healdsburg Junior High is the strongest option at 39/100 — 14.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
The suspension rate averages 5.5% against 3.6% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
The high school years
One high school: Healdsburg High at 65/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Healdsburg High (65/100) holds the Strong band — 24.8% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 24.8%.
32.1% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Healdsburg Elementary at 54/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 2 campuses here rank as Growth Engine (1) or On the Rise (1), their returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
