Schools in Trinity County

About schools in Trinity County

Weaverville may be Trinity County's largest town, but the standout public schools are scattered along the Trinity River corridor — Douglas City, Burnt Ranch, and Junction City each host small elementary programs that punch well above their size. Douglas City Elementary ranks at the 85th percentile statewide, with Burnt Ranch Elementary close behind at the 82nd. Half of Trinity's eight ranked schools land in the top quartile statewide, a notable achievement for a rural county where seven separate districts serve what amounts to a handful of communities. Families who can navigate the distances and embrace single-district elementary schools will find genuine academic strength tucked into this mountain landscape.
