Schools in Upper Lake Unified · Lake County

Middletown and the Hidden Valley Lake area quietly claim the strongest public school options in this rural North Coast county, where 23 schools spread across six districts serving communities from Lakeport to Kelseyville to Upper Lake. Coyote Valley Elementary lands at the 67th percentile statewide, and nearby Lake County International Charter reaches the 66th — both outpacing the county's other schools by a meaningful margin. No Lake County school currently breaks into the top statewide quartile, but families in the Middletown corridor have genuine options worth examining, and Middletown High rounds out a cluster of relatively competitive performers in that part of the county.
