Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
One elementary school: Etna Elementary at 38/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 6.2% against a state average of 17.9%.
The suspension rate averages 6.3% against 1.6% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
The middle years
One middle school: Scott Valley Junior High at 31/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Scott Valley Junior High is the strongest option at 31/100 — 10.2% of its students exceed the state standard.
22.9% of students are chronically absent (state: 18.1%) — 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: Etna Union High at 57/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
The level averages 56.7/100 — 2.8 points above the state average.
The suspension rate averages 6.1% against 3.3% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Etna Elementary at 38/100 — 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 — 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.
