MIDDLETOWN— The Middletown Unified School District encompasses the communities of Middletown, Cobb, and Hidden Valley Lake in southern Lake County. Middletown Unified consists of Middletown High School, Loconoma Valley Continuation High School, Middletown Middle School, Cobb Mountain Elementary School, Coyote Valley Elementary School, and Minnie Cannon Elementary School. The District also oversees 2 charter schools: Lake County International Charter School and California Connections Academy North Bay.
The Middletown Unified School District communities are very supportive of their schools. They’ve funded school bonds, athletics, and support the numerous student activities at all sites. Each school has a vibrant Booster Club/PTO, and Athletics has its own Booster Club. Parents frequently volunteer in all sorts of capacities: chaperones on field trips, drivers for athletics, or being a member of a school site council or English Learner Advisory Council.
Middletown students graduate ready to lead a productive adult life. We have a very low drop out rate (<1%), with 56.6% (2015-16 data) of students completing A-G requirements for admission to the University of California or California State Universities. Most students plan to continue their education after high school, whether at a four year college or university, a community college, or a trade school.
Visitors to any of Middletown’s school sites will discover small class sizes and engaged and creative teachers. Besides the basics, Middletown students have access to instrumental and vocal music, drama, robotics, Mock Trial, an exemplary agricultural education program, and teams in many sports among several other opportunities.
Over the past few years the District has dedicated resources (through the Local Control and Accountability Plan) to programs that make positive impacts on student’s lives: field trips, 6th grade science camp, after school programs, summer programs, regular parent conferences, instructional assistants in classrooms, reading specialists, and excellent professional development for staff members to continue to refine their practices.
Middletown Unified School District prides itself on being student-centered and focused on student achievement, having safe schools and campuses, and enjoying incredible support from our community.
