Cesar Chavez Ravenswood Middle

Cesar Chavez Ravenswood Middle serves East Palo Alto, a community that sits in the shadow of Silicon Valley's immense wealth but carries its own deep sense of identity and resilience. Families here are largely working-class and Latino, and the school reflects that community — it's a place where the neighborhood shows up, even as academic outcomes remain a significant challenge and the school works to close wide gaps in English and math proficiency. For families in East Palo Alto without private school options, understanding what support resources and programs the school offers — and what's available through the broader Ravenswood district — will be an important part of navigating middle school here.
