History

The Rio School District was founded in 1885 with the opening of a one-room schoolhouse on a ranch in what is now El Rio. The first class had at most 13 students.{{cite news |url=https://archive.vcstar.com/news/local/oxnard/rio-school-district-celebrates-130th-with-a-nod-to-history-339bde1e-8c5f-18e6-e053-0100007fe1fd-382592791.html |last=Carlo |first=Juan |title=Rio School District celebrates 130th with a nod to history |newspaper=Ventura County Star |date=June 11, 2016 |access-date=February 23, 2021 |url-access=limited }}

In 2018, the district purchased a new headquarters building on Solar Drive in northeast Oxnard. The office space is shared with the Oxnard Union High School District, who relocated from their previous facilities on K Street in the flight path of Oxnard Airport.{{cite news |url=https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/education/2018/10/25/oxnard-union-rio-school-districts-headquarters/1684818002/ |title=Oxnard Union, Rio school districts to buy and share new headquarters |newspaper=Ventura County Star |date=October 25, 2018 |access-date=February 23, 2021 |url-access=limited }}
