Summary:

The River Delta Joint Unified district operates ten schools serving grades K-12 across several small communities in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region, ranking in the 34th percentile statewide while serving a student population with high economic need.

Academic performance varies widely across the district, with Isleton Elementary standing out as a top performer, exceeding state averages in all subjects despite serving many low-income students. In contrast, Clarksburg Middle faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in the single digits for math and science. The district's high schools, including Rio Vista High and Delta High, maintain strong graduation rates above 92%, but struggle deeply with math proficiency, all falling below 15%.

Attendance is a mixed picture, where the small River Delta High/Elementary (Alternative) school has very low chronic absenteeism at 5.6%, but Mokelumne High (Continuation) reports a 100% rate. Promisingly, Bates Elementary has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the 19th to the 62nd percentile in recent years, demonstrating that growth is possible within the district.
