Summary:
Round Valley Unified has two high schools: Round Valley High, serving grades 9–12 with 113 students, and Yolla Bolly Continuation High, serving grades 10–12 with 21 students. Attendance is the most serious concern across the area: in 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 100% at Yolla Bolly and 46% at Round Valley High, compared with 18% statewide—making attendance a major concern at both schools, especially Yolla Bolly.
Round Valley High stands out for completion: its 2025–26 graduation rate was 95%, 7 points above the state rate, and its dropout rate was 5%, 3 points below the state. Yolla Bolly had the weaker completion figures, with 75% graduating and 25% dropping out—13 points below and 17 points above the state rates, respectively. Test results add a concern for Round Valley: its all-grades proficiency was 8% in English, compared with 49% statewide, and 0% in both math and science, versus 38% and 36% statewide. In 11th-grade English, however, it matched the district at 8%, though that was still 50 points below the state. Yolla Bolly has no supplied test results, so achievement cannot be compared between the schools.
Round Valley’s results and relative standing have weakened in the recent years shown: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, its all-grades English proficiency fell from 21% to 8%, while math and science each fell from 5% to 0%; meanwhile, state proficiency rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s rank for Round Valley moved from 1,793rd of 2,159 schools (17th percentile) in 2023–24 to 2,102nd of 2,137 (2nd percentile) in 2025–26. The schools also differ in context: student–teacher ratios are 9.9 at Round Valley and 30.4 at Yolla Bolly, while free/reduced-lunch eligibility in 2024–25 was 89% and 95%, respectively. These are contextual differences, not evidence that one measure explains school results; Yolla Bolly’s supplied SchoolDigger ranking history is from 2010–11 and 2012–13, so it does not show a recent trend.
