Roberts Ferry Union Elementary

Situated at 101 Roberts Ferry Road in Waterford, California, Roberts Ferry Union Elementary is an active, traditional public school district serving the surrounding rural community within the greater Modesto metropolitan area. Operating as an independent, non-charter district, it manages two school facilities dedicated to delivering primary and lower secondary education across grades kindergarten through eighth. Designed to foster a close-knit academic setting, the district focuses on guiding young learners through their foundational elementary and middle school years before they transition to high school.

The district supports a small, tight-knit student body of 199 enrolled children, creating an environment ripe for individualized attention and strong community ties. This student-centered approach is reinforced by a robust workforce totaling nearly 60 full-time equivalent staff members, including approximately 18 full-time equivalent teachers, six instructional aides, and nearly 36 dedicated support staff. For parents, students, and educational researchers, Roberts Ferry Union Elementary stands out as a well-resourced rural district where low student-to-staff dynamics help foster tailored instruction and a supportive educational environment.
