Delphic Elementary

Tucked away in the small agricultural community of Montague in California's far north, Delphic Elementary serves as the kind of close-knit K-8 school where staff actually know every student by name. Sitting right around the middle of the pack statewide, it's a solid option for families drawn to rural Siskiyou County's wide-open spaces, outdoor lifestyle, and slower pace of life near the Oregon border. Families who value a tight community feel over big-school amenities — and who love the idea of raising kids near Mount Shasta and the Klamath River — will feel right at home here.
