School Overview

Tucked into a working-class corner of Modesto's east side, Daniel J. Savage Middle sits in a community that values hard work and tight-knit neighborhood ties — and the school reflects that. Scoring solidly in the mid-60s percentile range in both English and math, it holds its own in a Central Valley district where Sylvan Union has built a reputation for consistency. Families looking for a dependable middle school experience in a part of Modesto that's more suburban than the city's core will find Savage a reasonable fit, especially if they're already rooted in the surrounding neighborhoods.
