Digiorgio Elementary School is a small school located in Arvin, California that has been in existence for well over 100 years. Unlike other districts nearby, Digiorgio Elementary packs all its students on one campus, due to a small student population. It also competes in a wide variety of academic and athletic activities against other schools. Eighth graders are expected to pass a constitution test in order to earn a diploma from DiGiorgio. Combined with this is a yearly trip to a major city.
