School Overview

Tucked in the small mountain town of Willits — the "Gateway to the Redwoods" in inland Mendocino County — this charter elementary offers a bit more flexibility and community intentionality than a traditional district school, which tends to appeal to families who want a little more say in how their kids are educated. Academics land in the middle of the pack statewide, with English scores holding up reasonably well, making it a decent fit for families settling into this outdoorsy, tight-knit corner of Northern California. If your family is drawn to the slower pace, the towering redwoods, and the independent spirit that defines Willits, this school fits naturally into that lifestyle.
