The Jess Valley Schoolhouse, in Modoc County, California near Likely, California, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]

It is a one-room schoolhouse located on County Road 64 about 12.2 miles (19.6 km) east of Likely.[2]

It is a woodframe building about 19 by 32 feet (5.8 m × 9.8 m) in plan. feet. It faces south, is front gabled and has gable returns and corner boards. Its original shake roof was replaced with tin.[2]

It was built by Orville and Gus Sweeney who probably also designed it, though its "design is typical of one-room schools built throughout the country in the late 1800s and early 1900s."[2]
