About schools in Nevada County

Ten districts spread across the Sierra Nevada foothills give Nevada County's public school landscape real variety — from small rural elementaries to charter options that make up more than a third of the county's 25 ranked schools. That mix matters for families: performance ranges widely, though Bear River High in Grass Valley and Williams Ranch Elementary in Penn Valley both reach the 79th percentile statewide, leading a group of four schools that crack the top quartile. Nevada City's Seven Hills Intermediate follows close behind at the 77th percentile. Families willing to research across districts and school types will find genuine standouts here.
