The Community and District

Riverbank is a very pleasant valley town of moderate size (13,000 population). It is located on the southern bank of the Stanislaus River and serves two community sectors: the City of Riverbank and the rich agricultural lands that surround the City. Only a fraction of the district is included in the City of Riverbank. The larger portion of the district is bordered by rolling fertile farm land and grazing land. It is located in Stanislaus County, one of the top ten agricultural counties in the nation. Although Riverbank has a strong agricultural base, the City is broadening its industrial base while closely controlling growth to the surrounding valuable farmland. A small-incorporated city, Riverbank offers a wide diversity in housing. Home prices range from $89,000 to $300,000. The community has several parks and provides an environment conducive to quality family living.

The district is centrally located within the state. Available to it’s citizens, within short driving time and distance, are the sports and recreational activities of the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains; the Delta waterways; and valley rivers. The district is also within convenient proximity to cosmopolitan and cultural centers located in Modesto, Stockton, Sacramento, and San Francisco.

The school district has an ADA enrollment of 3,287, with five schools (three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school). Two of the three elementary schools are California Distinguished Schools. The Riverbank School District became the Riverbank Unified School District three years ago, as a result of a successful Unification Measure. Riverbank High School became part of the Riverbank Unified School District at that time. A highly competent staff of 177 certificated and 126 classified employees has established a close rapport with the students and the community. The community actively supports the educational programs and activities of the school district.

Riverbank Unified School District serves its students with a comprehensive educational program that includes Gifted and Talented, Biliteracy, and Special Education programs.
