Summary:
In zip code 95448, there is one public middle school, Healdsburg Junior High, serving grades 6-8 within the Healdsburg Unified district, which is ranked in the top quartile statewide.
This school shows a mixed academic profile: its students perform better than the state average in English Language Arts but lag in both mathematics and science compared to state and district averages. A notable trend is that math scores decline each year from 6th to 8th grade. The school invests significantly more per student than the California average and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio, yet these substantial resources have not translated into uniformly strong academic outcomes.
With nearly 65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a community with significant economic need. Its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state's but lower than the district's average, suggesting some effective local measures are in place. For parents, this indicates a school with important resources and a supportive district, but one facing clear challenges in elevating student achievement, particularly in math and science, to match the level of investment.
