Summary:

Scott Valley Unified has two public high schools serving grades 9–12: Etna Union High, with 185 students, and Scott River High, with 17 students, in 2024–2025. The most striking concern for families is Scott River’s chronic absenteeism: 68%, compared with 23% at Etna and 18% statewide.

Etna Union High stands out for its available academic results: in 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency rates were 72% in ELA, 57% in math and 57% in science—22, 18 and 21 percentage points above state results, respectively. Scott River High stands out for graduation, reporting 100% compared with Etna’s 94%, the district’s 96% and the state’s 88%. Both schools reported a 0% dropout rate, below the state’s 8%. However, Scott River’s 68% chronic absenteeism is 45 percentage points above Etna’s and 50 points above the state rate; Etna is also above the state by 5 points. Scott River’s test scores are suppressed, so its academic performance cannot be compared with Etna’s.

Etna Union High’s two-year score trend is mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, science rose 7 percentage points and ELA rose 1, while math fell 2. Its SchoolDigger ranking improved from 441st in 2023–2024 to 231st in 2025–2026; these rankings are SchoolDigger’s own measure. For context, in 2024–2025 Etna’s student–teacher ratio was 13, compared with 22 at Scott River High. The schools’ reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures that year were 62% at Etna and 82% at Scott River, a 21-point difference; these are contextual measures, not explanations for outcomes.
