Schools in Meridian Elementary · Sutter County

Yuba City anchors most of Sutter County's public school activity, with Live Oak and the smaller communities of Sutter and East Nicolaus rounding out a rural landscape served by 13 districts across 35 ranked schools. The county leans heavily elementary, and only five schools place in the top quartile statewide — but those standouts are worth noting. Twin Rivers Charter in Yuba City reaches the 89th percentile statewide, and Sutter Peak Charter Academy in Live Oak follows closely at the 87th. Charter schools play an outsized role here, accounting for seven of the county's ranked campuses and claiming most of its strongest academic results.
