High Schools in Laytonville Unified

Laytonville Unified serves high school students through a single, small rural school, Laytonville High, which educates about 98 students in grades 9-12.

Laytonville High has shown remarkable improvement, jumping its statewide ranking from the 28th to the 73rd percentile in just one year while achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate and zero dropout rate. The school performs notably well in English Language Arts, with over 60% of students proficient, and science, though math scores are an area for growth. This success is achieved despite significant challenges, including a high rate of student economic need and a chronic absenteeism rate nearly double the state average.

The school benefits from substantial investment within the Laytonville Unified district, with a very low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending. Its small size allows for personalized attention but can also lead to noticeable swings in annual performance data. For parents, this school represents a high-performing option that excels in supporting students to graduation, though addressing consistent attendance remains a key focus for sustaining its impressive academic gains.
