Summary:

ZIP code 95482 has four schools serving grades 7–12: Ukiah High serves grades 9–12, Redwood Collegiate Academy and Mendocino County Community serve grades 7–12, and South Valley High (Continuation) serves grades 10–12. The clearest overall picture is that reported results differ substantially by school: in 2024–2025, the gap between the highest and lowest all-grade results was 64 percentage points in English language arts (ELA), 37 points in math and 36 points in science.

Redwood Collegiate Academy led the three schools with results in 2024–2025, with 68% proficient in ELA, 37% in math and 43% in science; South Valley had 4%, 0% and 8%, respectively. Redwood was 19 points above the state in ELA and 11 points above in science, while South Valley was far below the state in all three subjects. In 2025–2026, Ukiah led South Valley by 44 points in ELA, 16 in math and 19 in science; Ukiah’s ELA result was 53%, 4 points above the state. Mendocino County Community cannot be placed in that year’s test-score comparison because its school results are suppressed.

Both Ukiah and South Valley improved their all-grade results from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Ukiah gained 2 points in ELA, 6 in math and 7 in science, while South Valley gained 5, 3 and 1 point, respectively. Math remains a concern across the available comparisons: the 2025–2026 average for the two schools with results was 27 points below the state. Other measures show different contexts: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 77% at Ukiah, 60% at Redwood and 93% at South Valley; student-teacher ratios were 18.8, 16.7 and 15, respectively. SchoolDigger’s listed rankings are 1,107 of 2,137 for Ukiah (48th percentile, 2025–2026), 606 of 2,162 for Redwood (72nd percentile, 2024–2025) and 1,904 of 2,137 for South Valley (11th percentile, 2025–2026), so the ranking years differ.
