School Overview

Alta Mesa Elementary sits in the eastern part of Redding, a mid-sized city nestled where the Sacramento Valley meets the foothills of the Cascades — a place where outdoor recreation is a way of life and the community has a decidedly small-town feel despite the city's size. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with science scores standing out as a relative strength, which fits well with the nature-curious kids this area tends to produce. Families looking for a neighborhood school with solid fundamentals in a part of Redding that's more suburban and accessible will find Alta Mesa a comfortable, no-frills fit.
