Lucille Whitehead Intermediate

Waterford is a small agricultural town in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, and Lucille Whitehead Intermediate serves the upper elementary grades in this tight-knit community. Families who are deeply rooted in the area and value a close community feel will find a school that reflects the rural character of the town, though academic scores suggest there's room to grow — science being a relative bright spot. For families considering the area, it's worth looking closely at how the school supports kids through the transition from elementary to middle school, and what resources are available both in the classroom and through the district.
