Highlights
River Delta Unified School District is located in three counties-Sacramento, Solano, and Yolo. Although
the district is a tri-county district, it is managed by and is a part of the Sacramento County Office of
Education in Sacramento. Within these three counties, the district serves the Sacramento River communities of
Clarksburg, Hood, Courtland, Locke, Walnut Grove, Ryde, City of Isleton, and the City of Rio Vista.
Here, in the Sacramento Delta area where the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers converge, each
community is unique with its culture, rituals, and traditions. The history of the Chinese and Japanese
settlers is still apparent in buildings constructed some 50 to 100 years ago. Within this district,
one can find narrow streets shaded by large, overhanging trees.
Rio Vista is becoming one of the fastest-growing communities in Solano County, and is located
45 miles northeast of San Francisco and 35 miles southwest of Sacramento. Due to the maze of rivers and sloughs
that make up the Delta, the district is located in the heart of a great recreational area. Boating, water skiing,
swimming, and fishing become favorite past times. For those who enjoy the mountains and snow, Lake Tahoe and
the High Sierras are within easy driving distance. The metropolitan areas of Sacramento, Stockton, Oakland, and
San Francisco provide ample opportunities for city life.
The district is located near many outstanding colleges, junior and vocational colleges, and
universities. California State University Sacramento, University of the Pacific, and the University of
California Davis are all within commuting distance.The main industry is agriculture. Within this Delta are some of
the richest farmland in the United States. Fruits, grains, and vegetables are among the major crops.
