Located in the Coachella Valley of Southern California’s desert region, Indio is just 26 miles east of Palm Springs. With a population of approximately 60,000 and growing, Indio is served by two public school districts, including the Desert Sands Unified School District and the Coachella Valley Unified School District. Indio’s six grade schools and two middle schools have been recognized under the California Distinguished Schools program. And because of Indio’s growing population and above-average number of young families, the two districts are planning more schools in the future. One of Southern California’s most important agricultural regions, Indio is responsible for an overwhelming percentage of the nation’s date crop, while the city’s nurseries produce a large share of the nation’s palm trees. Indio is also home to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
