Westside Preparatory Charter

Westside Preparatory Charter sits in Rio Linda, a quiet, semi-rural community just north of Sacramento where the pace feels a little slower and neighbors still tend to know each other's names. For a two-year middle school stop covering just 7th and 8th grade, it punches respectably in English and math, landing comfortably above average statewide — a decent option for families navigating the Twin Rivers district who want a charter environment with some added structure. Families drawn to smaller, more intentional school settings will find it worth a look, especially if their student is the kind who benefits from a focused, defined experience before heading into high school.
