Summary

Hayfork High serves 96 students in grades 9–12 in Hayfork, within Mountain Valley Unified. In 2025–2026, it reported a 100% graduation rate and 4% chronic absenteeism, compared with 89% and 13% in its district. The most important academic finding is that Hayfork scored above California in all three reported subjects, though science was below the district.

ELA is Hayfork’s strongest subject compared with the state and district: 62% of students were proficient, 13 percentage points above the state and 15 above the district. Math was also above both, at 48%—9 points above the state and 8 above the district. Science was 38%, just 2 points above the state but 4 below the district. Compared with nearby Trinity High, Hayfork was ahead by 27 points in ELA, 33 in math and 7 in science. Results for Southern Trinity High are suppressed, and no scores are supplied for Alps View High (Continuation), so these nearby comparisons are limited to Trinity.

Scores have improved over the longer term but dropped sharply from the prior year: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose by 4 points in ELA, 6 in math and 10 in science, but then fell by 23, 22 and 17 points, respectively, from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranks Hayfork 551st of 2,137 California schools, at the 74th percentile with four stars; its ranking fell from the 96th percentile and five stars the previous year. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 15.8, and 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. That rate was higher than the same-year rates at Alps View (65%) and Trinity High (61%); these are contextual measures, not explanations for test results.
