Summary:

Zip code 96023 contains one high school, Butte Valley High, a small school of 94 students serving grades 9-12 in Dorris, California, which is part of the Butte Valley Unified district.

This school presents a notable contrast in its performance metrics. While its academic proficiency rates on state tests in English, math, and science are significantly below state averages, it excels in student support and retention, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. Furthermore, its chronic absenteeism rate is roughly half the state average, indicating strong student engagement and attendance.

For parents, this suggests Butte Valley High is exceptionally effective at keeping students on track to graduate in a supportive environment. However, the low test scores and a declining statewide ranking over recent years highlight ongoing academic challenges. The school's modest per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratio show it achieves its strong retention outcomes efficiently, but the data indicates a focus on improving academic mastery could be beneficial.
