Mountain Valley Unified

The Mountain Valley Unified school district in California is home to two schools: Hayfork Elementary and Hayfork High. Both schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with Hayfork High standing out as a particularly impressive institution.

Hayfork High has consistently ranked in the top 25% of California high schools over the past three years, with a current ranking of 537 out of 2,323 high schools. The school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance. Hayfork High boasts an exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state and district averages. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.4 is lower than the district average, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

While Hayfork Elementary does not match the high school's level of distinction, the school still performs well academically. It has strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, exceeding the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1% in 2022-2023 is higher than the state average, which could be an area of focus for improvement. Both Hayfork Elementary and Hayfork High serve a predominantly socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, with high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating the district may face unique challenges in supporting its students.
