Whitmore Charter School of Art & Technology

Whitmore Charter School of Art & Technology brings something a little different to Ceres, a working-class Central Valley city in Stanislaus County where families are increasingly looking for alternatives to the traditional neighborhood school experience. The art-and-tech focus gives kids a creative lens through which to approach their learning, and the school's stronger English performance suggests that foundation is paying off in literacy. It's a solid fit for families who want a charter environment with a distinct identity in a community that's growing but still has that small-town, agriculture-rooted feel.
