Alcott Elementary

Alcott Elementary sits in Riverside's established neighborhoods near the Tyler area, where tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community give the city a surprisingly suburban, family-friendly feel. The school shows some real strengths in science relative to its English and math scores, which could appeal to families with kids who lean toward hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Riverside Unified is a large district with solid resources, and families drawn to this pocket of the Inland Empire often appreciate the area's affordable housing, warm weather, and easy access to both the mountains and greater Los Angeles.
