Schools in Zip Code 95560

ZIP code 95560 has three schools in Southern Humboldt Joint Unified, serving grades K–12 and enrolling 289 students altogether: 272 at Redway Elementary, 9 at Osprey Learning Center (grades 9–12), and 8 at Osprey Learning Center (Alternative) (K–12). The clearest concern is that Redway’s reported proficiency fell in ELA, math, and science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, even as state results rose in all three subjects.

The alternative school stands out in all-grades ELA, while Redway has the lower reported result: 50% of alternative-school students were proficient, compared with 16% at Redway, a 34-point difference; the alternative school was also just above the state’s 49%. In math, the schools’ results were closer—18% at the alternative school and 16% at Redway—but both were well below the state’s 38%, by 20 and 22 points, respectively. Redway’s all-grades science result was 12%, 24 points below the state’s 36%; the alternative school’s science result was suppressed. Redway’s third-grade results were slightly above the district in ELA and math, by 1 and 1 point, but remained 32 and 31 points below the state.

Redway’s recent decline was broad: ELA fell from 25% to 16%, math from 20% to 16%, and science from 18% to 12%; the state improved in each subject. SchoolDigger’s Redway ranking also dropped, from the 16th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 5th in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 46% at the alternative school and 38% at Redway, versus 18% statewide. Student–teacher ratios were 16.6 at the alternative school, 19.4 at Redway, and 13.0 at the high school. Redway reported 78% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; the high school reported 67% that year, while the alternative school reported 73% in 2021–2022, so that figure is from a different year. The high school has no supplied test results, and the schools’ different grade spans and very small enrollments at two schools call for care when comparing results.
