Summary

South Valley High (Continuation) is a 120-student school serving grades 10–12 in Ukiah, California, and is part of Ukiah Unified. In 2025–2026, just 9% of students were proficient in English language arts, 3% in math and 8% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. Graduation was 76%, below the district’s 92% and the state’s 88%. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 74% of students were chronically absent, compared with 22% in the district and 18% statewide.

The school’s test results were below the district, state and nearby comparison schools in every tested subject, though its relative standing varied by subject. Compared with state results, South Valley was behind by 40 points in English language arts, 35 in math and 28 in science; compared with the district, the gaps were 26, 20 and 18 points. Among four nearby schools with current results, average proficiency was 47% in English language arts, 16% in math and 25% in science—38, 13 and 16 points above South Valley. Its results were also below Potter Valley High, the lowest-scoring of those four schools in each subject. Science is relatively closest to state and district results, while math is closest to the nearby-school average; none is a strong result in comparison.

Scores have moved in different directions since 2022–2023: English language arts fell from 12% to 9%, while math rose from 0% to 3% and science from 0% to 8%. South Valley remains low in SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings: 11th percentile and one star in 2025–2026, below Ukiah High at the 48th percentile and two stars. Its 15:1 student–teacher ratio was reported for 2024–2025. That year, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest reported nearby share, just below Clover Valley High (Continuation) at 93%. One striking subgroup change in SchoolDigger’s rankings is for English Learner Students: the group’s statewide percentile fell from 61 in 2017–2018 to 4 in 2021–2022, a 57-point decline.
