Nightingale Charter

Nightingale Charter sits in Stockton's south side, a working-class part of the Central Valley where families are deeply rooted in the community and looking for options that go beyond what the traditional district can offer. As a K-8 charter, it keeps kids together through the middle school years, which can be a real draw for parents who want continuity and a smaller-school feel. Academics here are a work in progress — science shows the most promise — and families who get involved and advocate for their kids tend to get the most out of what the school has to offer.
