Collett Elementary

Collett Elementary sits in the western side of Riverside, a sprawling Inland Empire city where the cost of living is more manageable than coastal Southern California but commutes to Los Angeles and Orange County are a real part of daily life. The school serves a community-oriented neighborhood and, while its academic scores fall in the lower third statewide, it's part of Alvord Unified, a district that puts real emphasis on supporting families in a diverse, working-class corner of the region. Families rooted in the area who value a school close to home, with ties to the broader Riverside community, will find Collett a familiar and accessible option.
