Schools in Yuba County

About schools in Yuba County

Only one of Yuba County's 33 ranked public schools lands in the top quartile statewide, which gives families a clear picture of what to expect across this largely rural stretch of the Sacramento Valley. That standout is Browns Valley Elementary, performing at the 84th percentile in both English and math — a notable outlier in a county where most schools trail state averages. Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts and Lone Tree Elementary at Beale AFB each reach the 72nd percentile, rounding out a slim tier of stronger options. With six districts spread across communities like Marysville, Wheatland, and Plumas Lake, school quality varies considerably by location.
