Diamond View Middle

Tucked into the high desert community of Susanville in Lassen County, Diamond View Middle serves a tight-knit rural community where kids tend to know their teachers by name and school spirit runs deep. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with math as a relative strength, making it a reasonable fit for families who value a close community feel over a highly competitive academic environment. Susanville itself is a small, rugged mountain town — think wide open spaces, outdoor recreation, and a slower pace of life — so families drawn to that kind of setting will likely feel right at home here.
