School Overview

Tucked into the quiet agricultural community of Maricopa in Kern County, Blue Ridge Academy is a K-12 charter school that stands out in a rural corner of California where options are limited and tight-knit community matters. Its strongest suit is science, where students perform well above average — a fitting edge for kids growing up near the oil fields and open land that define this part of the Central Valley. Families looking for a single campus that can carry their children from kindergarten all the way through graduation will find that continuity here, without having to look far from home.
