Cielo Vista Charter

Cielo Vista Charter sits in the sun-drenched heart of Palm Springs, drawing families who want something a little different from the traditional district school experience. With notably strong English scores and solid math performance, it's a good fit for parents who value literacy and are looking for a K-8 environment where kids can grow roots before heading to high school. Palm Springs itself has a laid-back, arts-forward vibe with a tight-knit community feel, and Cielo Vista reflects that — it tends to attract engaged families who are drawn to the charter model and appreciate having one school carry their kids all the way through middle school.
