School Overview

Waterford Junior sits in a small agricultural town along the Tuolumne River, about 20 miles east of Modesto, where the pace is slower and the community ties run deep. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a relative bright spot, making it a decent option for families raising kids in this tight-knit farming community. It's the kind of place where everyone knows your kid's name, and for families who value that small-town connection over a big suburban campus, Waterford can feel like exactly the right fit.
