Del Campo High

Del Campo High sits in Fair Oaks, a leafy, unincorporated community just east of Sacramento that has a strong sense of small-town identity despite being part of the larger metro area. The school serves a fairly typical suburban mix of families, and while its academic scores land in the lower quarter of California high schools, its science numbers show a bit more strength relative to its other subjects. Families drawn to Fair Oaks tend to love the area for its riverside trails, farmers market, and tight-knit feel — and parents who get involved early and seek out the right teachers and programs here may find pockets of opportunity worth exploring.
