School Overview

Fairmont Elementary sits in El Cerrito, one of the East Bay's more quietly sought-after communities — close enough to Berkeley and Richmond to feel connected, but with its own laid-back, tree-lined character that draws families who want a little more breathing room without straying far from the urban core. The school performs solidly above the state middle, with math and science scores that tend to attract families who value a well-rounded academic foundation without the pressure-cooker intensity of some neighboring districts. It's a good fit for parents who want a grounded, community-feel school in a neighborhood where kids can still walk to the library or grab a bite on San Pablo Avenue after school.
