School Overview

Nelson Avenue Middle sits in Oroville, a small city nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada where the Feather River runs through and outdoor life is very much part of the culture. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with science and math being relative strengths, and it serves families who are rooted in this working-class, close-knit community. It's a good fit for families who value a smaller-town upbringing where kids grow up knowing their neighbors and spending weekends on the river or in the hills.
