Rio Valley Charter

Rio Valley Charter offers something increasingly rare in public education: a single school that takes students from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade, giving families in Lodi a genuine K-12 community to grow with over the long haul. Lodi sits in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley — a tight-knit, agriculturally rooted city with a strong sense of local identity — and Rio Valley fits right into that ethos with its charter-school focus on building something a little different from the traditional district model. Families who value continuity, want their kids to stay connected to the same community of teachers and classmates for years, and are looking for solid academic performance above the state median will find a lot to like here.
