Middletown Unified School District

What Middletown Unified School District does

Middletown Unified School District is a public K-12 school district organized under California law, serving approximately 1,500 students in grades Transitional Kindergarten through 12 from the communities of Middletown, Hidden Valley, and Cobb in Lake County. The district operates six schools — Cobb Mountain Elementary, Coyote Valley Elementary, Minnie Cannon Elementary, Middletown Middle School, Middletown High School, and the alternative-education Loconoma Valley High School — and in 2024 transitioned 6th grade onto the Middle School campus. Educational offerings include AP/Honors courses, dual enrollment with community college, NCAA eligibility support, career technical education, FFA (agriculture), and athletics, alongside support services for special education, food services (free universal meals under Provision 2 for 2024-25), transportation, and health.

The district's technology stack is built on standard SaaS rather than proprietary systems: ParentSquare serves as the primary communication, alert, and website platform (including per-school smartsites), Aeries is the student information system with a parent portal, Google Apps for Education (including Google Classroom) supports instructional delivery, EdJoin handles recruitment, LINQ Connect manages the meal-application process, and Quality Bidders, ReadySign, Keenan/SafeSchools, and RedRover support construction prequalification, forms, volunteer training, and absence management respectively. No public or partner-facing API is documented.

As a non-profit government entity, the district does not charge tuition and derives operating funding from California state apportionment and local property taxes. Capital funding has been augmented by the voter-approved Measure H $28 million school bond (Series A $12M issued March 2019, Series B $16M issued November 2021), funding facility modernization, safety upgrades, and the new $15 million Middle School Gymnasium that broke ground in September 2025 and is scheduled for completion in Fall 2026. Governance rests with a five-member elected Board of Trustees, with an independent Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee providing community accountability for Measure H expenditures.
