Summary:
Scotts Valley Unified is served by one middle school, Scotts Valley Middle, which educates about 463 students in grades 6 through 8 within this high-performing district.
Scotts Valley Middle is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California middle schools for the last three years. It excels particularly in English Language Arts, where student proficiency is over 20 points higher than the state average, and in science, where it even surpasses the high district average. A major strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.5%, which is less than half the state average and indicates a very positive and engaging school environment.
While the school's math scores are solid and well above the state average, they are the relative area for growth, as they trail the school's own strong English scores and the district average. However, the data shows promising growth, with math proficiency climbing significantly from 6th to 8th grade. Overall, parents can expect a stable, well-resourced, and consistently high-achieving school that effectively prepares students academically.
