Del Oro draws its students from two elementary districts (Loomis & Newcastle) which are composed of seven K-8 elementary schools. In addition, approximately 350 of our students are on inter-district agreements from surrounding districts. The school is located a few miles from Sierra College, which allows many students to attend concurrently. In 2011, Del Oro was named a California Distinguished School by the Department of Education. In 2019, Del Oro received the maximum 6-year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and in June of 2022 received an additional three- year accreditation. Del Oro High School competes athletically in the highly touted Sierra Foothill League (S.F.L.) and is part of the CIF-Sac-Joaquin Section. We compete in 21 Varsity Sports, most equipped with both Frosh and Junior Varsity feeder programs. We have a rich history of students competing in sports and its estimated that 40% of the entire student body participate on an interscholastic team.
