Cordova High

Cordova High sits in Rancho Cordova, a working-class suburb east of Sacramento that's seen a lot of growth and change over the years — it's the kind of community where families put down roots and stay. The school lands in the middle of the pack statewide, which means it's a solid option for families who value a neighborhood feel and extracurriculars alongside academics, without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of some higher-ranked schools in the region. Families who prioritize a connected, community-oriented high school experience — and who want to take advantage of Rancho Cordova's easy access to Sacramento, the American River Parkway, and the Folsom corridor — will find Cordova a comfortable fit.
