Summary

Ukiah High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,767 students in the Ukiah Unified district, which serves a community with significant economic need.

The school presents a mixed picture for parents: it excels at graduating students, with a 94.4% graduation rate that outshines most nearby schools, including local continuation schools like South Valley High (Continuation) and Clover Valley High (Continuation). Its performance in English Language Arts is also a relative strength, surpassing both the district and state averages. However, a major area of concern is mathematics proficiency, which at 13.49% is far below state standards and represents a critical challenge the school must address.

When compared to other local options, Redwood Collegiate Academy, a charter school less than a mile away, shows significantly higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. Ukiah High's own statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, a trend that coincides with increasing student poverty and absenteeism. While the school's per-student spending is substantial, the contrast with higher-performing nearby schools suggests how resources are used is as important as the amount available.
