Summary:
The city of Felton, California is home to three schools serving grades K-12: San Lorenzo Valley High, San Lorenzo Valley Elementary, and San Lorenzo Valley Middle, all part of the San Lorenzo Valley Unified school district.
Based on the data, San Lorenzo Valley High stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking in the top 20% of California high schools over the past 3 years. The school boasts a strong 92.5% four-year graduation rate, low 5.4% dropout rate, and student test scores well above state averages in English, math, and science. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools, while still performing above state averages, lag behind the high school in statewide rankings and test scores.
Across the district, the schools have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 19.23% at the elementary school to 28.35% at the middle school, and maintain reasonable student-teacher ratios in the low 20s. This suggests the Felton community may be relatively affluent, which could contribute to the strong academic performance, though the middle school's higher free/reduced lunch rate indicates pockets of economic disadvantage that should be addressed.
