Salida Middle School - Vella Campus

Salida Middle School's Vella Campus sits in one of the faster-growing corners of the Central Valley, where suburban Stanislaus County families are putting down roots between Modesto and the Bay Area commuter corridor. Scores land right around the state middle, which means students are keeping pace academically while navigating a school community that's still finding its footing as the area builds out. Families who value a neighborhood feel, consistent fundamentals across English, math, and science, and a school that reflects the working-class, community-minded spirit of the broader Salida area will feel right at home here.
