Summary

Round Valley High is a public high school in Covelo serving 113 students in grades 9–12. Its latest reported graduation rate is strong, but attendance is a concern: 95% of students graduated in 2025–2026, while 46% were chronically absent. The biggest concern is academic proficiency: results were far below California’s averages in English language arts, math and science.

English language arts is the school’s comparatively strongest subject against its district, while math is its weakest against both the district and state. In 2025–2026, Round Valley’s proficiency was 8% in English, 0% in math and 0% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. It was also behind the Round Valley Unified district by 3, 7 and 8 percentage points, respectively. Compared with nearby Laytonville High, which recorded 46% in English, 33% in math and 42% in science, Round Valley was lower in every subject. Its graduation rate exceeded state and district rates by 7 and 8 points, while its chronic absenteeism was 28 points above the state rate.

Proficiency has declined over the reported years: English fell from 22% in 2023–2024 to 8% in 2025–2026, and science dropped from 7% to 0%; math fell from 5% in 2024–2025 to 0%. SchoolDigger placed Round Valley in the 2nd percentile statewide in 2025–2026 (rank 2,102 of 2,137, 0 stars), down from the 17th percentile in 2023–2024. By comparison, Laytonville was in the 62nd percentile (rank 815, 3 stars). Round Valley’s student-teacher ratio was 9.9 in 2024–2025, lower than Laytonville’s 10.6 and Yolla Bolly Continuation High’s 30.4. The school’s reported free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 89% in 2024–2025, between Laytonville’s 77% and Yolla Bolly’s 95%; these figures are context, not an explanation for academic results.
