Alta Vista Community Charter

Tucked into the foothills community of Auburn, Alta Vista Community Charter draws families who want a more intimate, community-driven alternative to traditional public school within the Auburn Union district. The school's science scores stand out as a real strength, which fits well in a region where outdoor education and hands-on learning tend to resonate with the nature-minded families who settle in this part of Placer County. Auburn itself is a charming Gold Rush-era town with easy access to trails, the American River, and a tight-knit downtown, making it the kind of place where a community-focused charter school feels right at home.
