School Overview

Tucked away in Alturas — a small, remote ranching town in the far northeastern corner of California — Modoc Middle serves a tight-knit rural community where everybody knows everybody and kids tend to stay connected well beyond the classroom. Families who value small-town life, wide open spaces, and a school where students don't get lost in the crowd will find this a comfortable fit, with scores that land solidly in the middle of the pack statewide. It's the kind of place where the rugged high desert landscape shapes daily life as much as anything happening inside the school building.
