School Overview

Empire is a small, tight-knit community tucked into the Central Valley between Modesto and the foothills, and Empire Elementary reflects that working-class, close-to-the-land character. Families looking for a neighborhood school with a genuine sense of community will find one here, though it's worth knowing that academics are a stretch area — test scores sit in the lower percentiles statewide, so parents who prioritize strong academics may want to explore additional support or enrichment outside of school. That said, for families rooted in Empire and looking for a school that's part of the fabric of the community, it's a familiar and accessible option in a part of the Valley where neighbors still know each other's names.
