Stratford Elementary

Stratford is a small farming community in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, and Stratford Elementary reflects that tight-knit, agricultural roots feel — the kind of place where staff know every kid by name. The school serves a mostly rural population and, like many schools in this part of Kings County, faces real challenges that show up in its academic scores, which sit in the lower range statewide. Families who are active and engaged in their children's learning will find the small-school environment gives them a close relationship with teachers and plenty of opportunity to be involved in school life.
