School Overview

Alturas Elementary sits in the heart of California's remote northeast corner, where Modoc County's wide-open ranching landscapes and small-town rhythms shape daily life in ways that are hard to find anywhere else in the state. With science scores landing near the middle of the pack statewide, there are genuine bright spots here, though English and math scores suggest families may want to stay actively engaged in their child's learning journey. This school will resonate most with families rooted in the Alturas community who value a tight-knit environment where teachers and parents tend to know each other by name.
