School Overview

Tucked into the quiet, rural landscape of Potter Valley — a small agricultural community in the inland hills of Mendocino County — this little junior high serves a tight-knit population where everyone knows everyone. Families drawn to an unhurried, small-town upbringing will find a school where students don't get lost in the crowd, and the science program in particular stands out as a genuine strength for a school of its size. It's the kind of place that suits families who've chosen country living over the coast, and want a school community that reflects those same close-knit values.
