Best Public Schools in Healdsburg, CA

Summary:

The city of Healdsburg, California is home to 6 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across 3 different school districts: Healdsburg Unified, West Side Union Elementary, and Alexander Valley Union Elementary. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the top-performing elementary schools and the lower-performing alternative high school.

West Side Elementary and Alexander Valley Elementary consistently rank in the top 15-20% of California elementary schools, earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. These schools maintain high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, often exceeding state and district averages. In contrast, Marce Becerra Academy, the alternative high school, has very low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and high dropout rates.

The data suggests a correlation between schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance. However, Healdsburg High, the highest-performing high school, stands out with a strong 94.9% graduation rate and a low 1.5% dropout rate, along with ELA proficiency exceeding state and district averages. This indicates the district is providing effective support for its comprehensive high school, while the consistency of West Side and Alexander Valley suggests successful practices that could be replicated elsewhere in the district.
