School Overview

Almond Tree Middle punches well above its weight for a school in California's Central Valley, landing in the top third statewide with particularly strong English scores that suggest kids here are developing real literacy skills. Delano is an agricultural hub with deep roots in the farmworker movement — it's a tight-knit, working-class community where schools tend to be a central part of family life. Families who want a solid public middle school experience in a community-minded city, without the pressure of a more competitive urban district, will find a lot to like here.
