Anderson Heights Elementary

Anderson Heights Elementary sits in the small city of Anderson, a working-class community just south of Redding in the northern Sacramento Valley, where the pace of life is slower and neighbors tend to know each other by name. The school serves grades K–5 within the Cascade Union district, and while its academic scores fall in the lower range statewide, it's the kind of tight-knit neighborhood school that appeals to families who value community connection and want their kids growing up in a close, familiar environment. Families drawn to the outdoors and the rugged beauty of Shasta County — with Mount Shasta, the Sacramento River, and Shasta Lake all nearby — will find Anderson an affordable, unpretentious place to put down roots.
