Best Public Schools in Zip Code 95437

Summary:

The 95437 zip code area in Fort Bragg, California is home to 8 schools serving grades 1-12, all part of the Fort Bragg Unified School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 1282 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools emerge from the data.

Three Rivers Charter, a public charter school for grades 1-8, demonstrates relatively strong academic performance with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district. Fort Bragg High also stands out, boasting the highest graduation rate (89.6%) and lowest dropout rate (2.8%) among the high schools. Additionally, Fort Bragg High outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges across the district, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, especially at the Noyo High (Continuation) school. The stark differences in academic performance between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools highlight the disparities within the Fort Bragg Unified School District, which serves a predominantly low-income population as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch.
