School Overview

Tucked into a quiet rural valley northeast of Ukiah, Potter Valley is the kind of small agricultural community where everyone knows their neighbors and the school sits at the heart of it all. Potter Valley Elementary draws families who've chosen a slower pace of life — think ranches, vineyards, and kids who grow up with a real sense of place — and the school reflects that tight-knit spirit. With science scores that outpace its other subjects, it's a solid fit for families who value hands-on, grounded learning in a community where the outdoors is essentially an extension of the classroom.
