Summary:
Zip code 95469 in the rural Potter Valley area of California contains one middle school, Potter Valley Junior High, serving grades 7-8 with a very small enrollment of 39 students.
This school shows a mixed academic profile within the Potter Valley Community Unified district. While its performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lags behind state averages, it demonstrates a notable strength in Science, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. There are significant differences between grade levels, with 8th graders performing much better in English than 7th graders, but showing a decline in Math proficiency from 7th to 8th grade.
Despite a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate below the state average. With a low spending per student figure compared to typical California schools, the school's above-average science results and attendance suggest efficient resource use in specific areas, though its overall state ranking has remained consistently in the lower percentiles for the past few years.
