Best Public Schools in Zip Code 96067

This analysis covers four public schools serving grades K-12 in the Mount Shasta, California area (zip code 96067), including three traditional schools across two districts and one K-12 charter school, with a combined enrollment of roughly 1,200 students.

Parents will find a mix of educational options with distinct strengths. Golden Eagle Charter stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism and strong science performance, despite serving a student population with the highest economic need. In contrast, the traditional schools, Mt. Shasta Elementary and Mount Shasta High, show concerning rates of chronic absenteeism, though the high school maintains a strong graduation rate and low student-teacher ratio. Academic performance varies significantly by subject; for example, elementary students here outperform the state average in math, while high school students in the area struggle significantly in the same subject.

Overall, the schools in the Mt. Shasta Union Elementary and Siskiyou Union High districts have seen recent declines in their statewide rankings. There is no clear link between per-student spending and outcomes, as the highest-spending school has the lowest English proficiency. The alternative model at Golden Eagle Charter District appears effective for engagement, while the community faces broader challenges with student attendance and math achievement in the upper grades.
