Chico Junior High

Chico Junior High sits in one of Northern California's most livable mid-sized cities, where tree-lined streets, a vibrant downtown, and proximity to California State University Chico give the community a college-town energy that tends to foster curiosity and civic pride. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with science scores standing out as a particular strength — a good sign for families hoping to set their kids up for STEM pathways down the road. It's a natural fit for families who appreciate a well-rounded public school experience in a city that genuinely feels like a great place to grow up.
