Best Public Schools in Zip Code 95546

This analysis covers five public schools in the rural Hoopa, CA area (zip code 95546), all part of the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified district, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 689 students in a high-needs community.

Among these schools, Hoopa Valley High stands out as the strongest performer, achieving a 100% graduation rate with no dropouts and the area's best test scores, despite high economic disadvantage and absenteeism. In contrast, the three elementary schools—Hoopa Valley Elementary, Weitchpec Elementary, and Jack Norton Elementary—show very low proficiency rates in core subjects. Captain John Continuation High serves a critical role for at-risk students, with an 84.6% graduation rate but the highest chronic absenteeism at 95%.

A key finding is the district-wide challenge with chronic absenteeism, which at 65.3% is more than triple the state average and likely impacts learning. Financial investment varies significantly, with the highest per-student spending at Jack Norton Elementary and Captain John Continuation High, but not clearly correlating with stronger academic outcomes. The data suggests that while the high school achieves notable success, foundational academic struggles begin early and are systemic across the elementary grades.
