Summary:

Schools in zip code 85938 include four schools in the Round Valley Unified District, spanning elementary, middle and high school as well as alternative education. Three schools have reportable all-grades 2025–26 test results: their average proficiency was 35% in English language arts (ELA) and 26% in math, compared with state averages of 41% and 33%. The clearest area of concern across the reported results is math, where the average was 7 percentage points below the state, though the high school was an exception.

The schools stand out in different subjects: Round Valley Middle School led in all-grades ELA at 40%, ahead of Round Valley High School at 35% and Round Valley Elementary School at 31%; the middle school’s score was still 1 point below the state. In math, the high school led at 34%, 1 point above the state, while the elementary school had 23% and the middle school 20%. The middle school’s ELA strength is especially clear in grade 7, at 50% versus 43% statewide. Science offers a positive counterpoint: each school with results was above its state comparison, including the middle school at 40% versus 30% in grade 8.

SchoolDigger’s rankings show mixed recent movement: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, the elementary school fell 16 percentile points to the 35th percentile, the high school rose 9 points to the 50th, and the middle school ended unchanged at the 47th. Enrollment and student–teacher ratios do not form a clear performance pattern: the middle school had the lowest reported ratio, 14 students per teacher, yet its results ranged from the highest ELA to the lowest math. The alternative school, Round Valley AOI, reported a 13% dropout rate in 2023–24, compared with 4% for the district; its AASA results are suppressed. The schools serve different grade spans, and free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable, so these data cannot support grade-for-grade or income-context comparisons.
