Don Pedro Elementary

Don Pedro Elementary serves the working-class community of Ceres, a tight-knit Central Valley city just south of Modesto, where agriculture and family roots run deep. The school faces some real academic challenges, sitting in the lower tier statewide, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to look closely at supplemental support options at home or through tutoring. That said, Ceres has an affordable cost of living and a strong sense of community pride, and families already rooted here will find a school that reflects the neighborhood it serves.
