Summary:
Prescott Valley’s 86314 ZIP code has seven elementary schools, serving grade spans from PK–3 to PK–8; five are part of Humboldt Unified District, while the other two are in separate districts. Across the schools, the average all-grades result is about 42% in ELA and 40% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide. Results vary substantially from school to school, but the clearest overall finding is that Liberty Traditional School is the most consistent academic standout.
Liberty Traditional School leads all-grades ELA at 64% and math at 61%. Its ELA result is 18 points ahead of the next-highest schools, Coyote Springs Elementary School and Granville Elementary School, both at 46%; its math score is 14 points above second-place Acorn Montessori Charter School Inc. - West at 47%. Liberty also leads the reported fifth-grade science results, with 54%, compared with 49% at Granville and 34% statewide. At the lower end, Franklin Phonetic Primary School has the lowest math result, 15%—19 points below the next-lowest school, Lake Valley Elementary School, and 18 points below the state. Lake Valley has the lowest ELA result, 29%.
SchoolDigger ranks Liberty 100th of 900 schools, at the 89th percentile, and gives it four stars. Ranking histories show modest overall improvement among five schools with comparable figures: their average percentile rose from about 49% in 2023–24 to 54% in 2025–26. But results differed: Coyote Springs gained 16 percentile points, while Lake Valley lost 6; Franklin’s ranking fell 11 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26. Class-size figures also do not predict results on their own: Acorn has the highest reported student-teacher ratio, 24.1, yet its math result is 47%, while Lake Valley’s lower ratio of 12.8 accompanies 29% ELA. Because schools serve different grades and some results are suppressed, comparisons are not available for every school and grade.
