Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 15.7/100 — 23.2 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
All 2 elementary schools land within 8 points — the average is a fair summary here.
Eel River Charter is the strongest option at 20/100 — 4.5% of its students exceed the state standard.
27.4% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
One high school: Round Valley High at 34/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Round Valley High is the strongest option at 34/100.
42.3% 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 Round Valley Elementary at 11/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 3 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.
