The district is served with one high school, one middle school, and one elementary school. All the schools are located within the City of Salida. The Salida School system provides our students with excellent academic and activity programs based on quality instruction and progressive curriculum in a secure and challenging environment. In addition to standard-based, college preparatory academic programs at all levels, the high school offers an excellent career and technical program. The programs are available for high ability learners and second language learners. The District has recently added an alternative program for stuggling students.
