About schools in Imperial County
El Centro and the surrounding communities anchored by Calexico, Brawley, and Imperial make up the core of this desert border county's public school system — 54 schools spread across 16 districts in one of California's most geographically and economically distinct regions. No schools here crack the statewide top quartile, but McCabe Elementary in El Centro and Pine Elementary in Holtville lead the rankings, both landing near the 70th percentile statewide. Holtville also produces the county's top-ranked middle school. Families exploring Imperial County will find a system that reflects its frontier geography — modest by statewide benchmarks, but with individual schools quietly outperforming their surroundings.
