Summary:

Red Bluff Union Elementary includes five schools serving grades K–8: three conventional K–5 elementary schools, one K–8 community day school, and one grades 6–8 middle school. In 2025–2026, all-grades results varied among schools, but every reported result was below the state average in its subject. Even the area’s leading school in each subject remained below the statewide result.

Jackson Heights Elementary stands out overall among the conventional elementary schools, leading all-grades ELA at 31% and science at 31%; those results are 18 and 5 points below the state, respectively. Bidwell Elementary narrowly leads math at 28%, 11 points below the state. Red Bluff Community Day has reported results of 0% in ELA and math, while its science result is suppressed, not zero. Among the conventional K–5 schools, William M. Metteer Elementary has lower all-grades ELA and math results—18% and 17%—than Jackson Heights and Bidwell. Vista Preparatory Academy has the lowest reported all-grades math score, at 12%.

Vista Preparatory improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 11 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 7 in science, but equal-weight school averages moved farther from state results in all three subjects. Grade-level results add useful distinctions: Bidwell leads grade 3 ELA and math, while Jackson Heights leads grade 4 and 5 ELA and math. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide ranking percentiles are 31 for Jackson Heights, 23 for Bidwell, 12 for Vista Preparatory, and 8 for Metteer. The schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025: 82% at Jackson Heights, 67% at Bidwell, and 78% at Metteer; these are context, not an explanation for results. Student-teacher ratios at Bidwell and Metteer are 19.6 and 22.9. All-grades results combine different grade spans, and Community Day enrolls 16 students.
