Schools in McCloud Union Elementary · Siskiyou County

Sixteen separate districts serving 23 ranked public schools might sound like plenty of options for a rural mountain county, but Siskiyou's geography spreads those choices across a wide corridor of small towns from Weed to Yreka. Most offerings are elementary-focused, with only four high schools in the mix — meaning families often plan ahead for secondary transitions. Only two schools land in the top quartile statewide, but Etna Union High stands out at the 82nd percentile, and Fort Jones Elementary follows at the 76th, both drawing from the Scott Valley area. Families willing to navigate the distances will find earnest, small-enrollment schools throughout.
