Long Valley, Doyle CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Long Valley

Long Valley is a small K-12 charter school in Doyle, a rural high-desert community in southeastern Lassen County. The school enrolls fewer than three hundred students across a full twelve-grade span in a setting shaped by remoteness, economic hardship, and recent natural disaster.

Doyle itself is a dispersed, low-density rural place without a town center, built largely along highway frontage in semi-arid sagebrush country. Most residents are homeowners, many retired. The community suffered severe damage in the 2021 Beckwourth Complex Fire, losing more than thirty homes; population has been declining for years. Employment is thin and reliant on small retail, local services, and public administration. Long Valley Charter School sits on Susan Drive and functions as one of the few institutional anchors in town.

The school's student body is predominantly White and rural. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Race and ethnicity data shows a White plurality, with smaller Hispanic, multiracial, American Indian, and Black populations; data on special education identification and English learner status was not available.

Academic performance is significantly below state benchmarks across tested subjects. In mathematics, proficiency rates are very low, ranging from zero in grades five and eight to low single-digit and teen percentages in grades three, four, six, and seven. English language arts proficiency is higher but still modest, ranging from the high teens to mid-forties across tested grades, with sixth grade at or above midpoint performance. Science proficiency at grade five is near a third; at grade eight it falls to very low levels. Across all tested subjects and grades combined, the school ranks in the bottom quartile when compared to other districts in Lassen County. Trend data spans only one school year, so trajectory cannot be assessed.

A graduation rate was not provided in the data; state testing data exist only for grades three through eight. The school serves kindergarten through twelfth grade, so high school outcomes and college-preparation pathways, if any, cannot be characterized from the available information.

The school is a charter operated under California's authorization framework. A parent may want to look into what support structures, intervention programs, or instructional changes the school has in place or plans to address the proficiency gaps, and what options exist for college or career preparation in the upper grades. Housing in the Doyle zip code is affordable by California standards; a parent relocating to the area would find median home values below the state benchmark.

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
