Welcome.

Scott Valley Junior High School was established in 1985 and is located in the beautiful Scott Valley, approximately fifteen miles southwest of the County Seat of Siskiyou County, Yreka, California. It is in the Scott Valley Unified School District which serves an area of approximately 1,500 square miles and is composed of Etna High School, Scott Valley Junior High, Scott River High School, Fort Jones Elementary School, Etna Elementary School, four Community Day schools and Scott River Adult School.

Scott Valley Junior High School serves students in grades seven and eight. It also has a specialized ninth grade program. SVJH’s total enrollment is about 95 students. The school has excellent academic programs and staff who are dedicated to promoting the success of each student. The goal of SVJH is to develop students who are independent learners, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens. In 1990 we were recognized as a “California Distinguished School” and nominated again in 2002 and 2004. Based upon its Spring 2008 STAR exam scores, our school received an API score of 809 which represented a growth of 44 points. SVJH also met all its Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals. We also have excellent extracurricular and athletic programs. We have an after-school (SAFE) program which provides extra tutoring and study time for our students.

The major economic influences within the community are agriculture, logging, forestry, mining, tourism, and recreational businesses.

Scott Valley Junior High wants parents to feel welcome and encourages them to visit and to be part of the ongoing school improvement process. We also encourage you to call with any questions or suggestions you might have.
