Heartland Charter

Heartland Charter is a K-12 charter school serving the small agricultural community of Maricopa, a tight-knit town tucked into the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley in Kern County. With particularly strong science scores and solid all-around academics, it's a meaningful option for families in a rural area where schooling choices are limited — and the kind of place where teachers tend to know every student by name. Families drawn to a close community feel, where kids grow up alongside the same classmates from kindergarten through graduation, will find Heartland fits that mold well.
