August Schilling Elementary

Newark sits tucked between Fremont and the bay, a working-class East Bay city where families are deeply rooted and community ties run strong — but August Schilling Elementary faces some real academic headwinds, ranking in the lower tier statewide in both English and Math. Families who choose this school will want to be active partners in their child's learning, supplementing at home and staying closely connected to the classroom. That said, the science scores show a bit more promise, and for families already embedded in the Newark community, this neighborhood school can still be a meaningful part of a child's early years.
