School Overview

Tucked away in the far northeastern corner of California, Cedarville is about as remote as it gets — a small ranching community in the high desert of Modoc County where everybody knows everybody. Surprise Valley Elementary serves a tight-knit rural community where the student body is small and relationships between families, teachers, and kids tend to run deep. Families who value wide open spaces, an unhurried pace of life, and a school where their child won't get lost in the crowd may find this little corner of California surprisingly appealing.
