Summary:

The Fortuna Union High area includes three California high schools: Fortuna Union High and Academy of the Redwoods serve grades 9–12, while East High (Continuation) serves grades 10–12. Enrollment ranges from 66 students at East to 826 at Fortuna. The most important finding for families is that academic results differ greatly by school: Academy leads in all three subjects, while East has the lowest results in all three.

In 2025–26, Academy scored 88% in ELA, 63% in math and 77% in science—about 38, 24 and 41 percentage points above state results, respectively. It outscored East by 88 points in ELA, 63 in math and 62 in science. East scored 0% in ELA and math and 15% in science, below state results by 49, 38 and 21 points. Fortuna fell between the two schools, with 43% in ELA, 16% in math and 27% in science; each was below the state result. These differences mean the three-school average does not describe any one school especially well.

Recent results show no single trend across subjects or schools. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, science rose by 15 points at Academy and 6 at both Fortuna and East, while Academy’s math score fell by 8 points and East’s ELA score fell by 11. SchoolDigger ranks Academy at the 97th percentile, Fortuna at the 39th, and East at the 20th in 2025–26; East’s ranking has risen from the 6th percentile in 2022–23, even though its latest proficiency results remain low. For context, each school reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25: 38% at Academy, 66% at Fortuna and 85% at East. Academy also had the highest student-teacher ratio, 23.2, while East had the lowest, 17.3, so these measures do not mirror the achievement ranking.
