Summary

Round Valley Elementary serves 313 students in grades K–8 in rural Covelo, Mendocino County. In 2025–26, all-grade proficiency was 11% in English, 8% in math and 9% in science—well below California’s 49%, 38% and 36%. The most urgent concern is middle-grade math: no students were reported proficient in grades 6, 7 or 8.

The school was below nearby Laytonville Elementary in all three subjects: 11% versus 21% in English, 8% versus 17% in math, and 9% versus 20% in science. It was only slightly above Round Valley Unified in each, at 11% versus 10% in English, 8% versus 7% in math, and 9% versus 8% in science. Science was closest to the state, with a 27-point gap, while math had the smallest gap to Laytonville, at 9 points. There are some grade-level bright spots: Round Valley had higher English results than Laytonville in grades 4 and 5, higher math in grade 4, and similar fifth-grade science results.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, English proficiency fell by 2 points and science by 1, while math rose by 2; the gaps to state results widened in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism improved substantially, falling 24 points from 57% in 2021–22 to 33% in 2025–26, though it remained above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 4th percentile statewide in 2025–26, with 0 stars, compared with Laytonville’s 11th percentile and 1 star. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 22.4, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result: its statewide measure of how well the school serves Native American students was at the 27th percentile in 2022–23 and 25th in 2023–24, versus the school’s overall 2nd and 1st percentiles; it fell to the 11th percentile in 2024–25, still above the overall 2nd percentile.
