Antioch Unified School District serves most Antioch homes, and your assigned school depends on your exact street address. Put the address into AUSD’s School Locator, then confirm it with the district before you write an offer (Antioch Unified, AUSD Enrollment page, checked September 24, 2026).
Below: how to look it up, what the district’s rules say about choosing a different campus, and every AUSD school’s 2025 results from the California School Dashboard.
How do I find the school for one Antioch address?
Use the district’s own tool, then call to confirm.
- AUSD School Locator. The AUSD Enrollment page links to the district’s School Locator, a map with an active boundary layer, now at antioch-unified.schoolexplorerapp.com (checked September 25, 2026). Enter the address and note the elementary, middle and high school it shows.
- Call the district. AUSD’s main office is at 510 G Street, (925) 779-7500 (AUSD website, checked September 24, 2026). Boundaries can change, and the locator is a tool, not a promise.
- Near the city edge? AUSD also runs Orchard Park School, which has an Oakley address on Live Oak Avenue (California School Dashboard, school profile, 2025), so district lines and city lines don’t match. If an address near the edge of Antioch doesn’t return a school, ask AUSD which district serves it.
Can my child attend a different AUSD school?
You can apply. AUSD says parents of any student enrolled in the district may apply to enroll in any district school, regardless of where they live in the district (Board Policy 5116.1), and that transfers into or out of the district are handled separately under Board Policy 5117 (AUSD Enrollment page, checked September 24, 2026). Applying does not mean you get a seat, so ask the district how it decides for the grade you need.
AUSD also lists enrollment options that aren’t tied to your street, including Dual Immersion (TK to 8th grade), ENCORE Homeschool, Prospects Independent Study and Thomas Gaines Virtual Academy (same source).
How does Antioch Unified compare with the state?
Below the state average on most 2025 measures. For all AUSD students, compared with California as a whole (California School Dashboard, Antioch Unified, 2025, checked September 24, 2026):
| Measure (2025) | Antioch Unified | California |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 81.0% | 87.8% |
| Graduates prepared for college or career | 25.8% | 51.7% |
| English, points from standard | 63.2 below | 8.1 below |
| Math, points from standard | 108.6 below | 42.4 below |
| Chronic absenteeism | 32.7% | 17.1% |
| Suspension rate | 5.1% | 2.9% |
AUSD enrolled 15,253 students in 2025-26 (same source). English results rose 5.2 points from the year before, and math was about flat, down 0.6 points.
How do the Antioch elementary schools compare?
Here are AUSD’s elementary and K to 8 schools, with 2025-26 enrollment and 2025 test results. English and math are shown in points above or below the state standard, with the Dashboard color in parentheses (California School Dashboard, 2025, checked September 24, 2026):
| School | Street | Grades | Students | English | Math |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Belshaw | Roosevelt Lane | K-5 | 431 | 84.9 below (Red) | 96.0 below (Red) |
| Carmen Dragon | Vista Grande Drive | K-6 | 495 | 68.6 below (Orange) | 91.9 below (Orange) |
| Diablo Vista | Prewett Ranch Drive | K-5 | 496 | 27.2 below (Yellow) | 53.7 below (Yellow) |
| Fremont | F Street | K-5 | 482 | 97.5 below (Red) | 107.6 below (Orange) |
| Grant | Spaulding Street | K-6 | 478 | 62.0 below (Orange) | 94.6 below (Orange) |
| Jack London | Country Hills Drive | K-6 | 446 | 84.9 below (Orange) | 110.1 below (Red) |
| Kimball | August Way | K-5 | 450 | 59.8 below (Yellow) | 81.1 below (Orange) |
| Lone Tree | Mokelumne Drive | K-5 | 518 | 52.2 below (Yellow) | 74.3 below (Yellow) |
| Marsh | G Street | K-5 | 522 | 104.7 below (Orange) | 111.8 below (Red) |
| Mission | Mission Drive | K-5 | 512 | 53.2 below (Yellow) | 72.0 below (Yellow) |
| John Muir | Greystone Drive | K-5 | 660 | 38.5 below (Yellow) | 60.0 below (Yellow) |
| Orchard Park (Oakley address) | Live Oak Avenue | K-8 | 751 | 20.5 below (Yellow) | 61.3 below (Orange) |
| Sutter | Longview Road | K-5 | 450 | 47.5 below (Yellow) | 70.5 below (Orange) |
| Turner | Delta Fair Boulevard | K-5 | 436 | 72.3 below (Orange) | 76.4 below (Yellow) |
A school’s street is not its boundary. A house a few blocks from one campus can be assigned to another, so the School Locator comes first.
What about middle and high schools?
2025 results for AUSD’s middle schools and main high schools (California School Dashboard, 2025, checked September 24, 2026):
| School | Street | Grades | Students | English | Math | Graduation rate | College or career prepared |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antioch Middle | D Street | 6-8 | 665 | 99.7 below (Orange) | 145.3 below (Orange) | n/a | n/a |
| Black Diamond Middle | Sterling Hill Drive | 7-8 | 358 | 88.2 below (Red) | 136.7 below (Red) | n/a | n/a |
| Dallas Ranch Middle | Mount Hamilton Drive | 6-8 | 795 | 60.2 below (Orange) | 123.7 below (Red) | n/a | n/a |
| Park Middle | Spartan Way | 6-8 | 1,055 | 78.3 below (Orange) | 129.2 below (Red) | n/a | n/a |
| Antioch High | West 18th Street | 9-12 | 1,776 | 60.4 below (Red) | 148.8 below (Red) | 85.5% (Green) | 28.2% (Yellow) |
| Deer Valley High | Lone Tree Way | 9-12 | 1,812 | 4.7 below (Yellow) | 104.4 below (Yellow) | 85.9% (Orange) | 28.5% (Orange) |
| Dozier-Libbey Medical High | Sand Creek Road | 9-12 | 681 | 57.6 above (Green) | 67.3 below (Orange) | 98.7% (Blue) | 69.7% (Blue) |
Deer Valley High’s English score rose 16.5 points and its math score rose 26.2 points from the year before (same source). High school test results come from 11th graders only, so one class can move them a lot.
AUSD also runs Bidwell and Live Oak continuation high schools, Prospects High (alternative) and Thomas Gaines Virtual Academy (same source).
Is Dozier-Libbey Medical High assigned by address?
No. The California Department of Education lists Dozier-Libbey Medical High, at 4900 Sand Creek Road, as an “Alternative Schools of Choice” school for grades 9 to 12 (California Department of Education, School Directory, last updated August 25, 2026, checked September 24, 2026). Buying a home near it does not place a student there. Ask AUSD how admission works and what the timeline is.
What do the Dashboard colors mean?
They combine this year’s result with the change from last year. The five colors, from lowest to highest, are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue (California School Dashboard). A school can post a low score and still earn Yellow if it improved a lot, or post a decent score and get Orange if it slipped. Read the number and the color together.
Questions people also ask
What school district is Antioch, CA in?
Most Antioch homes are in Antioch Unified School District, with its office at 510 G Street. The district’s lines don’t follow city lines, since AUSD also runs Orchard Park School with an Oakley address. Look up the exact address in AUSD’s School Locator, linked from the AUSD Enrollment page, and verify it with the district before you buy.
What is Antioch Unified’s graduation rate?
81.0% for 2025, compared with 87.8% statewide, per the California School Dashboard, checked September 24, 2026. Rates vary widely by campus: Antioch High posted 85.5%, Deer Valley High 85.9% and Dozier-Libbey Medical High 98.7%. Dozier-Libbey is a school of choice, so living nearby does not assign a student there. Confirm details with the district.
Can I pick a different school in Antioch Unified?
You can apply. AUSD’s Enrollment page, checked September 24, 2026, says parents of any enrolled student may apply for any district school regardless of where they live in the district, under Board Policy 5116.1. Applying doesn’t mean you get a seat. Ask AUSD about the deadline and how it decides before you count on a transfer when choosing a home.
Which Antioch elementary schools scored highest in 2025?
On 2025 English results, Orchard Park (20.5 points below standard), Diablo Vista (27.2 below) and John Muir (38.5 below) were closest to the state standard among AUSD’s elementary and K to 8 schools, per the California School Dashboard, checked September 24, 2026. Test scores are one measure. Verify the assigned school for any address with the district first.
