School Overview

Chester Junior/Senior High sits in a small mountain town on the edge of Lake Almanor, where the outdoors is practically part of the curriculum and everyone knows everyone by name. The school serves grades 7–12, meaning kids grow up together in a tight-knit community that's more about logging roots and lakeside living than competitive college prep culture. Families who are drawn to rural California life — hiking, fishing, a slower pace — will find a school that reflects that lifestyle, even if academic test scores trail behind larger suburban districts.
