HELP! Moving to the area!

Riverbank has a population of around 22,000 residents or more. Also, some children do attend the Sylvan School District in Modesto (which is pretty close to Riverbank). The Annual Wine & Cheese Festival is there (which I haven't missed in 10yrs now). And the Galaxy Theaters and a small park that is adjacent to the Stanislaus River. The Crossroads Shopping Center has Home Depot, The Red Robin, a Wells Fargo Bank, Staples, Target and a zillion other shops. Good luck.

Yes, Riverbank only has one high school. However, there are two other high schools close by in Modesto: Beyer High School and Enochs High School, both have very good reputations as far as I know. Beyer has the AP programs and Enochs is brand new with state of the art facilities (so I've heard). Don't know how it would work out for you to get your kids into Beyer or Enochs if you're not in their "zone" but it can be done. Not sure what their zones are exactly anyway, but you might be in one of them depending on where you live. Good luck and welcome :)

Actually, I just looked... and the west side of Riverbank is Enochs High while the East side is Riverbank High. Modesto City Schools recently revised boundaries... here's the map:

The direct link didn't work so I had to right click on the "new boundaries detail map" pdf file and save as... hope this helps.

I am sure you will love the area you are moving to, Riverbank is a fantastic community a stones throw from Modesto but very much the valley's own "Mayberry". I hope you enjoy your move and settle in to enjoy all we have to offer here.
