Esparto High

Esparto High sits in the small agricultural community of Esparto, tucked into the Capay Valley on the western edge of Yolo County — far from the bustle of Sacramento or Davis, with a distinctly rural, tight-knit feel. English scores are a relative bright spot here, but math and science lag behind state averages, so families with academically ambitious students may want to look closely at what support systems are available. That said, for families rooted in the farming community who value a close school-community connection and want their kids known by name rather than lost in a crowd, this small-town school offers exactly that kind of environment.
